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.
