Is there any good practice experience with having a donor state entity as a consortium member?
Including a Donor State entity as a consortium member can be beneficial, and was successfully done under one of the programmes in the Active Citizens Fund during the 2014-2021 financing period. However, the decision to include a donor state entity should be guided by the specific needs of the programme and the context of the Beneficiary State. The consortium should be designed to leverage the strengths and expertise of its members, ensuring that each adds genuine value to the programme’s objectives and context.
It is important to note that all consortium members must have relevant knowledge of the civil society sector in the Beneficiary State. This includes any consortium members from the Donor States .
