EU Funding Guides for NGOs
ECAS is a large cross-sectoral European NGO whose mission is to enable other
NGOs and individuals to make their voice heard within the EU by providing
advice on how to lobby, fundraise, and defend European citizenship
rights. With over 17 years experience in Brussels, our multilingual
and expert staff are well equipped to assist other NGO?s in gaining access
to funding.
It is on this basis that we produce two funding guides on how to access
funding from the world's largest donor; the EU institutions and
associations. There are two volumes;
1)
2007 Guide to European Union Funding, Volume 1 - Funding within the EU
2)
2007 Guide to European Union Funding, Volume 2 - Funding outside of the
EU
There is a budget for practically any project which has a genuine European
dimension; the issue of attaining funding is more about having a good
strategy to accessing the EU budget. Therefore our guides run through step
by step on how to gain funding from the EU institutions for programmes in
every policy area. It also gives advice on how to get through the rigid and
bureaucratic systems, practical information on the time that you will need
to invest, and the advantages and disadvantages of doing so.
Being written upon a library of resources and personal contacts it brings
together information that is scattered and difficult to find without years
of experience. The guides have been designed to be easy to read and
understand with as little 'EU jargon terms' used as possible, making it
accessible for those who know little about funding from the EU.
Click here to see the table of contents of the guides, and an order form
(scroll to bottom of the page). The guides are priced at 30 Euros for Vol-1,
and 25 Euro for Vol-2, or 50 Euros for both. This is priced very competively
in comparison to other guides on the market.

Financial aspects of water supply and sanitation in transboundary waters of South-Eastern Europe
The countries of South-Eastern Europe (SEE)3 face daunting water resources
challenges as the needs for investments into water supply, sanitation,
irrigation and hydroelectricity grow; as water quality is often described as
not adequate coupled with an increase in environmental and social concerns;
and as the threats posed by floods and droughts are exacerbated by climate
change which was illustrated by the most recent floods in Bulgaria and
Romania during the summer of 2005. Although the SEE region can be broadly
characterised as water abundant, the water resources are unevenly
distributed among the countries thereby leading to water shortages in some
countries and during dry periods (i.e. an uneven spatial and temporal
distribution of water flows) causing water shortages in localities
throughout the SEE region. Moreover, surface as well as groundwater
resources shared among a variety of users from different South-Eastern
European countries are under a range of natural but also man-made
pressures.
The objective of this study is to provide an overview of the current
situation of the reform process regarding water legislation and the
institutional arrangements prevailing in the seven South-Eastern European
countries. The study also discusses the use of economic instruments in the
countries of the SEE region and highlights the investments needs for water
infrastructure programmes although this information is not available in a
comprehensive and consistent format. Furthermore, it presents a
concept developed by the German bank Kreditanstalt für Wiederaufbau (KfW) as
a tool for
funding water investment based on transparent selection criteria.

International Finance and Development
As most recent international private capital flows have been unlikely to significantly enhance new productive investments in the developing countries, it is necessary to design appropriate mechanisms to ensure they contribute to development. However, recent trends in official development financing offer some grounds for optimism, although much more needs to be done. The present publication offers a comprehensive survey of the major financing issues influencing economic development since the historic Monterrey Consensus of the International Conference on Financing for Development in 2002.

The European Investment Bank and the water and sanitation sector
The European Investment Bank (EIB) supports capital projects that in a practical concrete way promote the objectives of the European Union (EU). Environmental protection and improving people’ s welfare are one of the Bank’s key priorities, for which it earmarks between 25% and 35% of its annual lending in the Member Countries of the Union. In 2005, the environment accounted for 33% of individual lending for major projects in the EU-25, 56% in the Acceding and Accession Countries and 22% in other partner countries.
The EIB’s individual direct loans for capital investment in the water and sanitation sector in 2005 amounted to EUR 2 113 million, of which EUR 1 882 million in the EU-25, EUR 43 million in the Acceding and Accession Countries and EUR 189 million in the partner countries.
