Guide Book Of European Union
The difficulty of correctly composing a Project
in accordance with some standards and norms of
the European and non European Donors is faced
during all these years from all those who have
been dealing with the composition and management
of such Projects.

The purpose of our guide is to provide an
overview that brings together information
scattered across websites of different Commission
Directorate Generals. If you use our guide to
identify possible programmes of interest and then
go to the website addresses indicated, you will
find more detail about the programmes and calls
for tender, although how much varies from one DG
to the next. Examples of the types of projects
funded are available in websites of some of the
DGs.
The European Commission is certainly Europe’s
largest donor. It is estimated that 1 billion
Euro (out of a total budget of about 100 billion
Euro) is available for NGO projects, and even
that is the tip of the iceberg. A lot has been
done over the last decade by NGO’s themselves
with the support of the European Parliament to
enlarge a budget focused more on economic
policies to practically every area of activity
generated by citizens associations. The issue is
therefore, not an absence of programmes or funds.
They cover a very wide range of action.
Practically any project which has a genuinely
European dimension and can be linked to EU
policies should find a corresponding fund. The
issue lies more in having a good strategy to
access the EU budget.
