  3. What’s a Funding Decision? • Decision = ECHO intervention plan, resourced financially • Includes a number of projects • One decision = one principal objective • One or more specific objectives  a specific objective can be implemented by integrated activities • Mentions potential partners

  4. Components of a decision Two main components: • explanatory memorandum • executive summary • structured description of the decision e.g. needs assessments, objectives, components, activities, etc. • annexes (statistics, maps, etc.) • decision text • recitals • articles • one annex (amounts per specific objective)

  5. Practical implications • Link between legal base and objectives • Concept of duration linked to “operations” in Primary and Emergency decisions or to “decision” itself if Ad hoc or Global Plan • The date of eligibility of expenditure is set in the decision • The use of the reserve  condition of flexibility of the FPA system and avoid budgetary losses linked to underspending in individual operations

  6. The humanitarian organisations in the decisions • Potential implementing partners are mentioned in the explanatory memorandum • No reference to the amount of individual agreements • ECHO must inform the partner of the adoption of the decision (art.19.3 FPA)

  7. Legal base and objectives • One decision, one principal objective (linked to articles 2 or 4 of the Humanitarian aid Regulation) • Special relevance of articles 2a and 2c • One or more specific objectives • a specific objective can be implemented by integrated activities • one agreement should not cover two specific objectives

  8. Important dates • Date of adoption of the decision and date of entry into force of the decision  normally should be the same, but it is possible to postpone the entry into force of a decision. • Eligibility date of expenditure and start date of the duration of the decision are the same date; possibility of retroactivity  as a general rule, the eligibility of expenditure can not predate the reception of a project proposal

  9. Types of decisions • Primary Emergency • Emergency • Ad Hoc (DIPECHO included) • Global Plan

  10. Duration of decisions and duration of operations • Primary emergency & Emergency decisions: • The duration of operations limited to a maximum period of months: primary emergency = 3 ; emergency = 6 • Non-emergency decisions: • The duration for the implementation of the decision is fixed inmonths [max. 18]. • Humanitarian operations funded by the decision must be implemented within this period. • Duration of operations should not be longer than 12 months
