Budget Support Guidelines

These guidelines constitute an update to the 2012 DG DEVCO guidelines and the 2014 DG Enlargement sector bud-get support guidelines and merge both into one document. The purpose of these guidelines is, first, to contribute to improving the quality of EU budget support contracts by providing guidance to those who programme, design and implement them, in line with the policy direction set out in the 2011 Budget Support Communication ‘The Future Approach to EU Budget Support to Third Countries’, and corresponding Council Conclusions. Second, the guidelines are intended to provide a basis for a coordinated EU approach to the provision of budget support. EU Member States are therefore encouraged to use the guidelines and the various tools therein. The aim of this document is to pro-mote consistency and clarity, while allowing for the operational flexibility required in the face of dynamic and diverse situations.
