3Overview of thematic programmes: focus on NSA&LA
EuropeAid
• Do not result from a direct negotiation between the state and the EC but proposed by NSA&LAs or managed jointly with international institutions
• Complementary to geographic programmes: actor-oriented, can reach more easily the local level.
• Illustration of the EU as a « soft power », willing the spread its common values around the world such as fight against death penalty, mitigation of climate change, gender equality etc.

A multi- stakeholders Decision-making process: From strategy paper to Call for proposals
WHAT?
WHO?
EuropeAidTips for a successful proposal…
• Very good knowledge of the context & priorities of the cooperation between the EC & the State…
• Find relevant NSA&LA Partners in the country.
• Demonstrate the added-value of YOUR organisation.
• Writing the proposal: be specific, straight to the point & very clear in terms of specific objectives & expected results.
EuropeAidSome challenges concerning civil society involvement in EC cooperation
• How to better define the roles & added-value European v. local actors?
• How to deal with the very high competition coming from the call for proposals procedure (and very low success rate of applicants)?
• How to adapt EC instruments to be more strategic when engaging with civil society organizations?
2010: Launch of a multi-stakeholders dialogue / working group to try to answer to these questions. ITUC will have a key role to play.
