Enhancing WFP staff’s understanding of EC funding

Thanks to its long-lasting experience in supporting DG ECHO partners, in 2016 PuntoSud was contracted by the World Food Programme (WFP) – Brussels office to develop an ad hoc eLearning course on the use of the ECHO eSingle Form.

The aim of this course was to give a specific and practical overview on how to fill in the Single Form format at proposal and reporting stages and to ensure WFP Country Offices’ key staff to develop quality proposals to be submitted to DG ECHO. The eLearning was developed by PuntoSud experts in cooperation with WFP relevant staff and published in WFP learning platform.

After this successful experience, in 2018 WFP requested to develop another eLearning course on how to deal with EU development funding opportunities and Grant implementation. Its main aim was to inform country offices’ staff on how to negotiate with EU delegations to get grants and how to manage these grants according to EU rules. Also this course was developed by PuntoSud and published in WFP learning platform.

Both courses were updated by PuntoSud experts in 2021-2022 on request of WFP based on novelties on the EU rules and procedures.

These elearning modules were developed using Articulate 360 Rise and Storyline applications. The courses were enriched by photos and videos (from Articulate and WFP archives), interactive tools (e.g. reading in tabs, drag and drop features) and quizzes (multiple choices, drag and drops and games).
