2.1.2 Indirect Management

Indirect management of EU funds refers to a system where the European Commission entrusts the management and implementation of EU funding Programmes to external entities. Instead of executing all the operational tasks, the Commission delegates specific responsibilities to these external organisations, such as national authorities, agencies, or international bodies. The Commission sets the strategic framework, regulations, and funding priorities, while the implementing entities handle the day-to-day management and project selection.

Indirect management allows the European Commission to leverage the expertise and resources of external organisations to implement EU-funding Programmes effectively. It also enables a decentralised approach, considering the diverse needs and circumstances across member states and sectors. The Commission ensures that the funds are used in line with EU objectives and regulations through proper monitoring and reporting mechanisms. Here are a few examples:

Asylum, Migration, and Integration Fund (AMIF). The primary objective of AMIF is to promote the efficient and fair management of migration flows and the integration of third-country nationals legally residing in the EU. AMIF funding is allocated based on national programmes developed by each EU member state, considering the specific needs and priorities identified. The program promotes cooperation and exchange of best practices among member states to enhance the effectiveness of policies and actions related to migration, asylum, and integration.
European Solidarity Corps. The EU-funding Programme called the European Solidarity Corps aims to support young individuals who desire to participate in various acts of solidarity. These activities include assisting disadvantaged individuals, providing humanitarian aid, and contributing to health and environmental initiatives within the EU and beyond. The program's objective extends beyond inclusivity to focus on environmental sustainability and digitalisation. Implementing these activities involves direct and indirect management by the Commission through a network of EU national agencies. Funding is primarily provided in the form of grants. The potential beneficiaries of this program include individuals aged 18 to 30 (or 35 for humanitarian aid) and organisations in the EU and partner countries.direct

The specific arrangements and responsibilities of each program may vary depending on the initiatives' objectives, nature, and scope.
