Покана „Оперативно финансиране за функциониране на неправителствени органи в областта на здравеопазването, изпълняващи една или повече конкретни цели на Регламент 2021/522". Програма „ЕС за здраве"

The objective is to ensure the participation of health NGOs in activities that are necessary to implement one or more specific objectives of the EU4Health Programme. Hence, operating grants should provide support to the functioning of certain NGOs during 2024 for activities including awareness raising on various health aspects, communication and dissemination,capacity building and training, expert collaboration, and networking.

Expected Impact:

Through their core operational activities, the health NGOs will deliver on increased health literacy and health promotion, capacity building and networking; and contribute to the optimisation of healthcare activities and practices by providing feedback from patients and facilitating communication with patients.

The beneficiaries are expected to further demonstrate in their proposals the Union added value of their activities and commit to deliver concrete results such as: online materials, webpages, manuals and tools on case studies promoting health in schools, factsheets and relevant literature, materials for teachers on health literacy, and assistance and promotion of twinning with other schools in the Union capacity-building and training activities to reduce the impact of risk factors for non-communicable diseases; new approaches to promote healthy and sustainable diets; expert guidance and peer-to-peer connections; and collaborate in shared areas of activity.

Some of the beneficiaries’ activities are expected to contribute to the implementation of non-legislative policy initiatives and/or the implementation of relevant Union health legislation. Such activities will support the implementation of the planned revised Council Recommendation on smoke-free environments and key actions in this context.

The beneficiaries will facilitate the exchange of knowledge, capacity building related to their expertise and should cooperate with other civil society organisations and international organisations (e.g., the WHO and other organisations).
