1 . W h a t i s a F r a m e w o r k P a r t n e r s h i p A g r e e m e n t ?

• A FPA is long-term contractual relationship between the Commission and a third party based on an agreed work programme

• A Framework Partnership can be considered as a contractual “Public-Private Partnership” that does not necessarily require that partners group in a single legal entity

• Under a FPA, a Work Programme defines in generic terms the actions to be carried, which, in turn, are grouped into Specific Grant Agreements to provide the funding

Copernicus

2 . W h a t i s a S G A ?

• A SGA is a grant agreement between the Commission and the FPA consortium to fund the individual actions

• These actions are contained in the Work Programme of the FPA Sometimes, a Work Programme requires an Action Plan – a long-term programmatic outlook setting the main priorities and objectives

• The SGA is a specific grant to fund individualised actions, awarded following a proposal by the consortium and in line with a work programme (and an Action Plan)
