Que finance cet appel ?
Scope
The call selects and supports one consortium of non-governmental organisations that helps people with lived experience of poverty take part in the Commission's structured dialogue on poverty. The dialogue is planned as two in-person meetings in Brussels per year, each involving 35 participants from across the EU.
Activities to be funded
- spreading the Commission's calls for expressions of interest, with accessible materials translated into at least the 24 official EU languages and outreach beyond the consortium's own members
- guidance for candidates, such as workshops or a helpline, and introduction meetings held one day before each dialogue meeting
- travel, accommodation and subsistence for all participants in the introduction and dialogue meetings, including personal assistants where needed
- national and regional participation hubs with at least two online thematic meetings and two online skills workshops per year
- summarising and translating meeting documents, a toolkit on meaningful participation and a communication channel for participants
- a communication campaign against stigma and hostile narratives on poverty
Work packages
Project coordination, dissemination and support to applicants, facilitation of participation in meetings, capacity building of participants and the anti-stigma communication campaign. Outputs must meet online accessibility requirements.
Expected impact
Better-targeted and more inclusive EU policies, stronger public trust, empowered participants with new skills, and countering of misinformation about poverty.
Eligible costs
Budget-based mixed actual cost grant covering personnel, subcontracting, travel and subsistence, equipment, other goods and services, and indirect costs at a flat rate of 7% of eligible direct costs. Financial support to third parties is not allowed.
