We can also provide training for organisations across Europe on accessing funding, bid writing, project management and record keeping. This can be delivered at our residential premises in the UK or in any of the EU member states.
Our Toolkits - Best Practice Guides to Project Evaluation, Monitoring and Financial Record Keeping is a guide to evidencing and monitoring financial spend and outcomes/achievements, and include example documents which can be used to ensure you have all the necessary evidence for audit, monitoring, evaluation and dissemination\valorisation purposes.
These toolkits can be amended to suit the needs and languages of the various EU member states. We can also provide organisations with an external monitoring and evaluation service, which can be included in project budgets as an eligible expenditure, and is preferred by many funders to ensure unbiased evaluation and monitoring takes place.
