Dear Partners

drafting a concept paper for the EC NSA call for proposals

Dear Partners

This is to inform you that we have submitted concept a note to the EC in response to their call for proposals on Public Awareness and Education for Development in Europe. (see below the description of the action.

We would like to take this opportunity to thank you for agreeing to join the partnership and for contributing to the process of preparing the concept note. Your feedbacks have really added value to the feasibility and coherence of the proposal.

We will inform you about the decision of the EC as soon as we get their intimation which is expected at the end of May 2008. If the EC approves, we will have to draft the details of the action and based on our professional sector and experience, we will distribute among ourselves, the our roles and responsibilities and related budget allocations.

We would recommend that you register your organization in the PADOR system of the European Commission since this not only simplifies the submission of documents for EC bids but also strengthens the credibility and image of a bidding organization. Please go to the PADOR web site and follow their instructions:
