EPHA General Secretary Tamsin Rose made a presentation on 12 December 2003 on the advantages and disadvantages for NGOs of submitting projects for EU funding.
The conference was organised in Sofia, Bulgaria by the Ministry of Health, the Partnership for health consortium and supported by DG SANCO. The conference was opened by the Bulgarian Minister of Health and was designed to encourage local NGOs to participate in the EU Public Health Programme. More than 80 health professionals and NGOs attended the event.
EPHA’s presentation outlined the benefits for NGOs of applying for EU funds and highlighted the difficulties. There is a checklist to help NGO managers decide whether to participate and some useful suggestions on how to get ready for submitting projects.
