What type of data do organisations providein PADOR? (1)
Data:• Administrative
(LEF data: organisations that have already obtained European grants- have
« LEF 6 » codes - cannot modify the LEF data already introduced in the
system. For information on how to proceed, please check the information on
http://ec.europa.eu/europeaid/work/onlineservices/pador/lef/pador-lef_en.htm)• Sectorial and geographical experience• Financial data/Audit reports…
Supporting documents to upload obligatorily in PADOR:• for applicants: statuses and the most recent financial report available• for the partners: statuses
• Data requested is the same as currently requested in the paper grant
application form - Chapter II for the applicants
- Chapter III for the partners
11
EuropeAidWhat type of data do organisations providein PADOR? (2)
• At the Concept note phase, organisations must provide, on the application form, the EuropeAid ID (PADOR code). The EuropeAid ID is obtained only after complete registration in PADOR. Therefore, organisation must register completely in PADOR before the Concept note dead-line.
• Data introduced in PADOR is used:o for the eligibility check of the applicant/partners, during
the evaluation of the proposalo at the signature of the contract, by our DG Budget, who
takes into account the LEF data of the organisation whose proposal was evaluated positively
12
EuropeAidWho registers in PADOR?
Only organisation which are legal entities -i.e. have statuses establishing their existence and produce their own accounting-can register !
o Individuals cannot register. Individual applicants will continue to fill in the entire application form, for each application.
o Consortiums created for a given project cannot register (although its different members can)
o Partners register compulsorily, with less information to provide than the applicants
o Associates can register but not obligatorily, with less information to produce
13
EuropeAidPADOR benefits for the applicants (1)
Simplification of the Call for Proposals application process:
Until the launching of PADOR, each applicant needed to:
o fill in the whole application form
• Description of the project proposed• Data about the organisation itself
o send 3 paper copies of supporting documentation, even if these documents had already been submitted as part of another Call for Proposal
Since the launching of PADOR, only one type of document is stillsent by post, in paper form: the description of the projectproposed. (data about the organisation and supportingdocuments are introduced in PADOR)
14
EuropeAidPADOR benefits for the applicants (2)
Improve service provided to EuropeAid’s partners
o Registration only once, valid for all the Calls for Proposals (after having registered in PADOR, organisations obtain a unique EuropeAid ID, that they can use on all their future applications, either they apply as applicants or partners)
o This data can be registered, accessed and updated on-line, at any point in time: the entity is responsible for its data, which it registers and updates. (exception: derogation procedure)
o PADOR = the first On-line Service module – other on-line modules under analysis (in most likely chronological order for the forthcoming years):
• Monitoring of Call for Proposal process• Application to Call for Proposal• Application to Call for Tender
15
EuropeAidPADOR benefits for the European Commission
o improve knowledge of existing or potential partners
o build a database accessible to all services of EuropeAid and EU Delegations (Devolution Process: EC Delegations throughout the world have now increased power in terms of development aid implementation => need to share common databases and tools with a similar treatment)
o answer requests (from European Parliament, European Court of Auditors, Internal Audit Service, OLAF, the media, etc…)
16
EuropeAidContext (1)
Palermo process:
o Since 2002, EuropeAid has managed an informal dialogue between the EC, the European NGOs -led by CONCORD-, MEPs and EU Member States' representatives on a number of aid implementation issues
o The Palermo seminar (2003) was the culminating point of this initial phase. This forum formulated a number of recommendations
o One of the recommendations was the creation of an "on-line" database in which the organisations could register themselves
