By “living document”, ECHO means that the same document (“Single”) has to be completed/updated during the project's life's cycle. Thus, the Single Form allows a comparison between the planned and actual achievements.
For Actions financed under all types of decisions, sections indicated as INT are to be completed at the intermediate reporting stage.
In order to update the Single Form when reporting/amending, whenever possible you will use the reporting sections (INT) to explain what elements of the Action have been amended; when this option is not available modifications will be highlighted by “striking through” (presentation of words with a horizontal line through the center of them. Here is an example) outdated information and data (such as the dates, the beneficiaries, results and indicators, sectors).
When making changes in the proposal, Partners cannot delete the original text and replace it with new information. This is the reason why the “strike through” option is proposed. Partners should not forget to mention in the cover letter of the intermediate report whether the Single Form includes an amendment request. Further information on amending the agreements can be found in Fact Sheet A4. Refer to Fact Sheet A7 for information on reporting and amendment using APPEL (e-Single Form).
