This policy handbook analyses the EU legal framework and the Commission's internal procedures to help NGOs managers limit disruption – including the risk of seeing their EU projects funds suspended or definitively cut. The handbook also provides recommendations to the Commission and EU Member States donors on how to strike a balance between their statutory obligation to investigate all serious allegations of fraud and their responsibility to protect civic space.
