May have an impact at national level (e.g.
“vertical funds”)

HQ to ensure consistency with development
strategies of concerned countries
If specific countries are targeted

Need to consult concerned EU Delegations

Compliance with concentration &
complementarity


Concentration

Preference: intervention in the 3 sectors
covered by the MIP.

Exceptions: CSO & LA / EIDHR, or where
justified: need to respond to EU’s goals and
priorities, etc.
Complementarity

Not simple top-up of a sector of concentration

To add value-added which cannot be obtained
by country MIP alone (e.g. innovation, different
beneficiaries, multi-country approach, etc.)
Information on thematic programmes

Note to be sent to EU Delegation to provide
information on relations between thematic and
geographic programming and the main priorities
for each programme/instrument.

Complementary to geographic programming
guidelines

Recap Conditions
Objectives cannot be achieved effectively through
geographic programmes, no geographic
programme or where it has been suspended

Actions to address global initiatives, internationally
agreed goals, global public goods and challenges
and/or reflect a Union policy priority or
international obligation or commitment

Actions that are Multi-regional and/or cross-cutting

Innovative policies and/or initiatives with the
objective of informing future actions
Basic principles
• (1) TPs are used to develop policies at
international and regional levels while
geographic programmes focus on application and
implementation of those policies at country level
• (2) Most focus on involvement of specific set of
actors such as civil society organisations,
international organisation, private sectors,
researchers and think-tanks, contributing from
their perspectives, to the development of policies
How TPs interact, add value to, & complement GPs

GPGC/Environment & Climate change
International and regional levels
• Support to major international policy initiatives
(e.g. carbon emissions, deforestation, land
degradation)
• Support to actors in shaping EU policies
Country level
• Support to actors to engage in dialogue,
advocacy, monitoring of compliance with
regulations (working with private sector) and
implementation of commitments (e.g. FLEGT)
Human Development
(Social sectors- health/education)
International and regional levels
• Support to knowledge generation and
dissemination
• Support to global and regional initiatives and
policy dialogue platforms (e.g. the Global
Funds to fight HIV/AIDS, Tuberculosis and
Malaria and Global Partnership for Education)
Country level
• Support to national policy making, sector
reforms and development, knowledge
dissemination, etc
Exceptions: Civil society organisations and local
authorities programmes/EIDHR instruments
Support for actions which reach remote
communities that geographic programmes
cannot reach

Support to CSOs and local authorities better
placed to deliver more effectively than
geographic programmes

Support to activities mainstreamed with other
pro-democracy and pro-human rights activities
under the geographic programme
