General Call for Proposals: Thematic Programme for Environment and sustainable management of natural resources, including energy (ENRTP)

Dear FLEGT community,

The Call for Proposals is already available. Deadline for submission of the concept notes is 25/09/2012, 4:00 pm Brussels time. Please before applying take into account the specific nature of the actions and the limited geographic scope.

The ENRTP call for proposals has been published on EuropeAid website: https://webgate.ec.europa.eu/europeaid/online-services/index.cfm?do=publi.welcome&nbPubliList=15&orderby=upd&orderbyad=Desc&searchtype=RS&aofr=132763

The various lots are summarised below:

ENRTP Priority 1 / Lot 1: Climate Change mitigation, in particular REDD+

ENRTP Priority 2 / Lot 2: Biodiversity

ENRTP Priority 2 / Lot 3 Forest Governance and FLEGT

The present Call for Proposals will benefit from the lessons learned from the previous Call for Proposals organised under the ENRTP. Civil society, including the private sector has a key role to play in the implementation and realisation of EU policies targeted at promoting environmental stewardship, responsible trade in forest products and climate change mitigation objectives.

It is important to encourage the generation of new ideas and approaches that enrich EU policy development and in this regard the call for proposal have proved an effective tool. In order to ensure that initiatives supported under the ENRTP add value and are catalytic to other programmes, it is important that the Call for Proposal is more focused than in the past, both thematically and geographically. In addition, a more focused approach will avoid unnecessary effort by applicants and increase their success rate.
