TERMINATION OF THE AGREEMENT

Even in contexts of acute difficulties and crisis, where an ongoing humanitarian action is still capable of providing relief to assisted population, the termination of the Grant Agreement should always be treated as a measure of last resort. Termination may be requested either by the Organisation or by DG ECHO.

When the termination of the Grant Agreement is requested by the beneficiaries, the Coordinator must submit  a Modification Request (MR), indicating:

• the reasons for requesting a termination of the Agreement, including where relevant:
  • Exceptional circumstances impeding the implementation of the Action;
  • Details of any measures taken to minimise the negative impact on the Action;
  • Any other relevant details on the changed operational circumstances.

• the date on which the consortium will end work on the Action;

• the date on which the termination will take effect.

The termination will take effect on the termination date specified in the amendment.

The Coordinator must submit a periodic report within 60 days of the termination date. DG ECHO will calculate the final grant amount and payment based on this report, considering costs for activities implemented up to the end of work date. Costs relating to contracts executed only after the end of work date are not eligible.

Please note that, even after termination, certain obligations continue to apply, including confidentiality and security, intellectual property rights, communication and visibility requirements, reporting, audits and reviews, evaluations, and any obligations related to financial adjustments or grant reductions.
