Sharing of Overhead Costs

Fully booked

Many German, local and national humanitarian NGOs work closely together. Providing overheads is a crucial step in promoting a more locally-led humanitarian response. Recent studies show that local and national humanitarian organizations still do not receive an adequate amount of overhead costs. This seminar offers you the opportunity to exchange your practices regarding the transfer and receipt of overheads.

The course will take place online on 7 and 16 October and includes regular breaks.

You will learn

How to face challenges regarding the transfer and receipt of overheads

Good practice examples on overheads sharing

What an ideal overheads model could look like

How to apply the seminar learnings into your work

Target group

German humanitarian NGOs and their local/national partner NGOs.

In June 2023, we conducted an exchange seminar on the allocation of overhead costs to partner NGOs. Participants from last year as well as newcomers are welcome to join this seminar.
