About OKP group training

From 2017 - 2023, the Orange Knowledge Programme offered funding for 3 types of group training:

  • Tailor-Made Training (TMT): customised group training courses with a maximum budget of € 75,000 for a maximum of 12 months, for all countries in the Orange Knowledge Programme.
  • Tailor-Made Training Plus (TMT+): customised group training courses with a maximum budget of € 200,000 and a maximum end date of 31 August 2024. TMT+ has a greater emphasis on sustainable integration of outcomes within organizations and the sector, increased attention to training and implementation costs.
  • Refresher courses: these courses were only for previous graduates from the Orange Knowledge Programme or its predecessors. Like TMT, they were for all countries iin the programme, the maximum budget was € 75,000 and the maximum duration was 12 months.

Reporting after the implementation

The programme will end in 2024. For those who have participated in the programme, it is time to submit a final report in Delta.

For Group Training, grant recipients are required to submit their final report (narrative and financial) within 2 months after the end date of the grant period. Timely submission is crucial, as outlined in the Grant Obligations and Conditions.

Keep your grant administration and files for 7 years after the grant settlement.

Use the online reporting tool AkvoRSR to submit your report. Update indicators and provide a progress narrative. Include reflections on mid term indicators (in case of TMT+), or provide expected rates if immediate scoring isn't possible.
