Workshop on the ‘Union financial assistance in response’

In the last years, mainly due to the Covid-19 pandemic, the Russia’s War on Ukraine and the recent earthquakes in Turkey and Syria, there was a significant rise in the number of requests for ‘Union financial assistance in response’. Given the complexity of the operations and the high number of questions received, DG ECHO organized a workshop to inform and address identified issues directly to involved beneficiaries, which was held on 6-7 July 2023, in Brussels, Belgium.

During the seminar participants had the opportunity to learn about the requirements, optimizing collaboration and familiarize with documents and procedures.
