The Norwegian Embassy in Budapest, while of course follows the developments of the NGO Fund and may participate at the Selection Committee meetings as an observer, has no formal role in the management of the program or the selection of applicants. This is the sole responsibility of the consortium led by Ökotárs, which is accountable to the Brussels-based Financial Mechanism Office. Therefore, contacting the Embassy or any reference to it shall in no way be construed as an advantage during the selection of proposals.
