Measures to help our projects
Because none of you are in the same scenario, Officers analysed each situation individually and contacted us directly to provide help. For example, they informed us that, during this unusual period, they will be flexible with the submission deadlines of progress reports.

Costs for online tools
We share a webinar and gave tips on how to continue our project activities online. Tools and services to hold online meetings may be eligible within your available budget and relevant budget lines.
We invite you to check this with your lead partner, your joint secretariat officers and most importantly with your first level controller.
