Guidelines Nr. 1: Budget Support Guidelines - A modern approach to Budget support - Executive Guide

These Guidelines have been prepared by unit DEVCO “Budget Support, Public Finance and Macroeconomic Analysis” of the EuropeAid in close collaboration with all DEVCO Directorates and the EEAS and has benefited from many discussions and contributions received from staff in Headquarters and EU Delegations.

The Executive Guide is designed to provide an overview for the decision makers of how the new policy will be implemented. Each section of the Executive Guide corresponds to a companion chapter of the second part “Programming, Design and Management of Budget Support” of the guidelines, where further policy and technical guidance can be found for a wider audience: EU staff, EU Member States, partner countries, other donors, parliaments, civil society organizations.

In light of the experience in using these Guidelines, it is planned to make modifications and adaptations as and when necessary.
