Between December 2024 and March 2025, the FMO is organising national stakeholder consultations. In addition, the FMO is organising information sessions for potential bidders for the role of Fund Operator.
The stakeholder consultations are essential for the successful preparation and implementation of the programmes. They provide the FMO and potential bidders for the role of Fund Operator with knowledge on relevant needs and opportunities of civil society. All interested civil society organisations and other stakeholders are invited to share their ideas on the new fund. This will help us tailoring the programme to each national context.
The information sessions will present the Terms of Reference for the role of Fund Operator and the selection process to potential bidders. They will also give bidders the opportunity to ask questions.
In addition, questions can be submitted by Tuesday, 25 March 2025, 13:00 Brussels time through this portal or by email to FO.bid.support@efta.int
Please see further information about the schedule and the registration form .
Note: If you want to participate in shaping the Civil Society Fund in your country, then sign up for the stakeholder consultation. If you also want to bid on the role of Fund Operator, then also sign up for the information session.
