16-17-18 December 2024 - How to move around the 2021 Single Form_1

This course aims to improve participants’ knowledge and skills in designing an Action and making the best use of the 2021 Single Form format, which is crucial for submitting project proposals and reports. The course provides a quick overview of the financing decision-making process, followed by an analysis of the Single Form chapter by chapter, with specific emphasis on the main sections of the form (needs and beneficiaries, logframe, resources, quality controls), explaining in detail and with practical examples the requirements set by DG ECHO. Each chapter will be demonstrated in the format, featuring presentations, group work, interactive quizzes, and plenary discussions. 
  • 3 days - Live virtual lessons from 9:30 to 13:30 CET/CEST 

Target audience

This course is tailored for DG ECHO partners, implementing partners, DG ECHO staff, staff of International Organizations, and Member States' Specialized Agencies. It particularly targets members involved in the design of ECHO-funded Actions at both field and HQ levels. This is a beginner/intermediate course. While existing knowledge of DG ECHO Single Form is not required, it is appreciated. Please note that some sections of the Single Form format may not apply to IOs and MSSAs

Learning objectives

By the end of this course, participants will be able to:

  • recall the Single Form and understand the logic behind its sections;
  • know what type of information has to be included in the different sections of the Single Form in order to submit a successful proposal;
  • navigate the several sources of information including DG ECHO official website, DG ECHO helpdesk and the reference documents.
