EU MODULAR PROGRAMME
Managing projects & programmes in the context of the external actions of the EU can be very challenging. MDF offers now to EU Delegations and EU project staff the opportunity to deepen their knowledge and skills on several topics related to the management of projects and programmes funded by the EU external aid instruments.
Build your own programme matching your organisation’s needs & challenges!
We offer you the opportunity to build your own training of 4 days by selecting 2 modules. This gives you the flexibility you need to focus on your specific needs and it makes it possible to contract in a direct way using the competitive negotiated procedure – single tender: simple, flexible and available when you need it!
How does it work?
Each training programme lasts 4 days. It starts with ˝ day of general introduction on the context of the subjects covered and ends with ˝ day of workshop to answer specific questions and discuss case studies. The rest of the program (3 days) is to be selected from the modules offered:
