Training sessions on the use of the checklist for compliance with the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the EU in the implementation of EU funds
On 20-23 November, training sessions were held in Gdansk and Katowice on the use of the Charter of Fundamental Rights checklist in the implementation of EU funds.
Participants had the opportunity to learn more about the mechanism of applying the Charter of Fundamental Rights in the process of allocating EU funds. A guide to the use of the compliance checklist was also developed during the training.
The training was attended by representatives of institutions managing EU funds, monitoring committees and observers of the implementation process.
The training was part of the project "Supporting National Human Rights Institutions in monitoring fundamental rights and the fundamental rights aspects of the rule of law " implemented by the Office of the Commissioner for Human Rights and other project beneficiaries with the lead partner - the European Union Agency for Fundamental Rights (FRA), funded by the EEA and Norway Grants Fund for Regional Cooperation. The project aims to strengthen the role of national human rights institutions in the promotion and protection of fundamental rights and the rule of law in selected beneficiary countries by providing them with advice and institutional support, as well as building their capacity in EU law, with particular emphasis on the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union.
