DG ECHO’s certified partners: Periodic Assessment launched!

The periodic assessment’s objective is to ensure annually the compliance with the conditions that come with the EU Humanitarian Certificate.

It is comprised of two parts:

• The financial capacity assessment – performed through the Commission’s Central Validation service (around September/October)
• The administrative assessment – performed through APPEL (around December)

Therefore, DG ECHO has launched on December 1^st 2021 the administrative part of the periodic assessment for NGO certified partners. Via APPEL, NGOs need to answer a 3-question form as well as to re-submit the Declaration on Honour.

The administrative periodic assessment will be open from 1 December 2021 to 31 December 2021.
