2014-2021 Results Guideline	The Results Guideline provides National Focal Points, Programme Operators, Donor Programme Partners, Project Promoters, Donor Project Partners and staff of the Financial Mechanism Office (FMO) with the rules and obligations to complement the Regulations, and to assist them with recommendations in designing, implementing and reporting on programmes in the 2014-2021 funding period.	981 KB
Core Indicators Guidance	This document provides guidance for core output and outcome indicators (including Bilateral indicators) for the EEA and Norway Grants 2014-2021. It is intended to support the stakeholders involved in developing or managing EEA or Norway Grants funded Programmes - principally those programmes which are bound by the EEA and Norway Grants Regulations. Stakeholders include National Focal Points (NFP), Programme Operators (POs), Fund Operators (FOs), Project Promoters (PPs), and the Financial Mechanism Office (FMO). Caveat: This Core Indicator Guidance is closely linked to the established monitoring procedures under the EEA and Norway Grants 2014-2021. It should be read in conjunction with the Regulations on the EEA and Norway Grants, the Results Guideline, and the Results Reporting Guide. The Regulations and the Results Guideline take precedence over this guidance in case of any inconsistencies. The Core indicators Guidance was last updated on 14 November 2019.	2 MB
Financial Guidance	Guidance on how to carry out financial management and reporting under the EEA and Norwegian Financial Mechanisms for 2014-2021.	750 KB
Results Reporting Guide	The Results Reporting Guide is designed to guide its readers through the available information for results reporting on the Grants. It provides definitions and explanations for the statistical concepts and terms used for designing, implementing and reporting on programmes under the EEA and Norway Grants 2014–2021. Statistical information is often a basis for analysis and reports on progress and results in programmes and projects.
