EU4Health call for proposals for a Framework Partnership Agreement for operating grants (2025-2026) to non-governmental organisations

Non-Governmental Organisations (NGOs) play a major role, among others, in providing aid at the European, national and local levels. In the field of health, and especially public health, they provide services directly to patients and individuals, being in some cases in the first line of action during emergencies. NGOs are also essential in bridging the gap between institutions and patients and in facilitating communication at national and Union level. These organisations are not-for-profit and therefore necessarily rely on funding from different sources, for instance private donations, national or international contributions. It is important that they address funding sustainability of their operations.

The Commission considers it important that there is continuity in the work carried out by the health NGOs in addressing current health challenges, including the COVID-19 pandemic and its consequences. Therefore, it intends to launch a Framework Partnership Agreement (‘FPA’) for a duration of two years (2025-2026).

Through their core operational activities, the health NGOs will deliver results 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.
