Mastering DG ECHO's Grant Budget
1-day virtual classroom course to provide the fundamental knowledge and skills necessary for navigating the realm of DG ECHO's humanitarian aid world
Course Description
This virtual course aims to provide a clear and practical understanding of cross-checking financial information in the Single Form and its financial annexes. This is essential to ensure consistency among the various financial details requested in the Single Form and the operational budget, which remains one of the main challenges Partners face.
This course serves as a valuable complement to the knowledge acquired in the existing 2-day course, "Financial Management of a DG ECHO Funded Action," or more generally, for participants with prior financial experience.
Through interactive lectures, case studies and real-world scenarios, participants will learn to navigate financial challenges, mitigate risks and ensure compliance with DG ECHO's financial standards and regulations.
Learning Objectives
At the end of this course, participants will:
- Have a clear and practical understanding of the preparation of the operational budget and how to deal with possible challenges.
- Feel confident in preparing and submitting the operational budget to DG ECHO at the proposal stage.
- Feel more familiar in navigating the several sources of information including DG ECHO official website, DG ECHO helpdesk and the reference documents.
This course is specifically designed for DG ECHO partners, implementing partners, and DG ECHO staff actively engaged in the preparation and management of operational budgets, encompassing financial analysts, budget administrators, program managers, and other relevant roles within the organisation.
Prerequisite: This course is designed for advanced participants. Participants should have a very good knowledge of the eligibility rules and conditions and familiarity with the Operational budget template, Annex II and chapter 13 of the Single Form.
You will need access to a computer, tablet or mobile phone with an Internet connection.
Once you have completed all the training material and passed the exit test, your certificate of attendance will be available to download directly from the learning platform.
