In light of the ongoing mid-term evaluation of the NDICI-Global Europe and the mid-term review of its programming, which should be finalised in 2024, CONCORD undertook a study on EU development cooperation funding for CSOs at country and regional level to inform, stimulate and support its discussions with relevant EU institutions and EU Member States. It will also contribute to discussions about CSO funding mechanisms and potential adaptations, especially with regards to the geographic programming.

Its objectives:
· Assess EU funding going to and through CSOs;
· Critically examine how the EU’s political discourse matches NDICI-Global Europe funding decisions, and
· Explore potential adaptations of the support and funding modalities to reach all types of CSOs.
