EEU Grants (1): How to obtain EuropeAid Funding?

The European Commission is one of the most important development donors in the world.
European Commission programmes are a potential source of funding for NGOs, but navigating the complex rules and budget lines, and deciding what will work is often difficult. Some EU funding programmes receive a lot of attention from NGOs while others remain unknown and unexploited by organisations, which do not duly master the EU funding mechanisms.
