Budget Support virtual training

The Budget Support training has been re-designed to be offered as a virtual classroom. This online event will be delivered over 4 sessions of 4.5 hours. 

Training objectives

This virtual training course deals with the EU Budget Support modality, in accordance with the 2017 budget support guidelines, in the context of development assistance, neighbourhood or pre-accession instruments. The training aims at explaining how EU budget support operates (eligibility assessment, design of operations, policy dialogue, performance monitoring and disbursement).

A pre-requisite to this budget support virtual training course is a 10-module e-learning course to access on INTPA Academy (which should take 3-4 hours to take). The e-learning course provides an introduction to the concepts and principles of EU budget support, which will not be presented in detail during these virtual classes.

The four-day virtual training will cover:

• Module 1: EU Approach (EU Budget Support, eligibility criteria)
• Module 2: Identification/formulation (Context and sector analysis, Intervention logic)
• Module 3: Design (Funding, Capacity Building, Performance indicators)
• Module 4: Implementation (Monitoring, Disbursement and Policy Dialogue)

Target Audience
