WORKING WITH DG ECHO AS AN NGO PARTNER | 2021 - 2027

PAYMENT

FAQ 32 - We have spent more than the foreseen Action budget. How can we report this situation in APPEL?

In principle, partners should report on the total expenditure.
At final report stage, in practice, partners shall update the section 13 of the Single Form with all actual costs. In order to validate the section please be sure that the “total costs” in section 13.1 and the “total funding” in section 13.3 are the same amounts. In case of overspending, the exceeding amount shall be charged to the Applicant or to the other donor.

FAQ 170 - According to Article 30.1 “The granting authority may — at any moment — suspend payments, in whole or in part for one”, would the suspension be limited to the beneficiary concerned or impact the other co-beneficiaries as well?

What happens if the payment suspension concerns the coordinator?

Yes, it would be limited to the beneficiary concerned.

The share of the payment for the coordinator would be suspended. Final payment would be made after the end of the period of suspension. As an alternative, the consortium could appoint another beneficiary as coordinator in order to receive the payment.
