EXTERNAL PARTNERS
Intergovernmental organisations and actors play an important role, as they monitor compliance with international conventions and treaties across Europe. Furthermore, they provide assistance in areas linked to human rights, democracy and the rule of law. In order to ensure that the programmes and projects of the EEA and Norway Grants are aligned with European and international standards, the donors have established strategic partnerships with three European partners who act as International Partner Organisations (IPOs) in the 2014-2021 funding period.
COOPERATION
Cooperation through bilateral programmes and projects provides an arena for exchange of knowledge, mutual learning from best practice and developing joint policies.
23 Donor Programme Partners (DPPs)1 were involved in the 2009-2014 funding period.
In addition, the Council of Europe is counted as a DPP in a number of programmes.
