How does it work?
After receiving application forms from interested organisations, SALTO SEE will do the match-making to establish each Buddy Support Team.
The buddy-support should include a series of online meetings, or if circumstances allow at least 2 one-day physical visits. Both organizations need to include at least 2 persons from each side in this process. For the first visit/online meeting, we recommend the focus to be on more experienced organization, then vice versa. Both visits/online meetings require beforehand preparation in identifying the list of topics that the organisations want to address. For assuring success, think about concrete results that you would like to achieve, for instance:
Note: We advise the measure to be implemented in practice as described above, but organizations are asked to adapt the process to match their needs.
Financial stimulation
SALTO SEE offers financial support for the experienced organization in the amount of 400 EUR. Travel costs of both participating partners to the visit are eligible, but note that you need beforehand approval of SALTO SEE for the costs to be eligible.
Contracting
After organizations matched, they will be invited to conclude a contract with SALTO SEE. Annexed to the contract will be a suggested agreement detailing the process between the partners provided by SALTO SEE and will require identification of basic information, such as specified expected outcomes of the process for both partners, as well as identified steps and timeline.
Reporting
After first visit or series of online meetings is implemented, experienced organisation is required to send to the SALTO SEE a report, consolidated by both partners about the progress of the work. Once the measure is fully implemented, the experienced organisation is required to send to SALTO SEE a consolidated final report to claim the fee.
Visibility
We encourage both partners to document this process, by taking photos of the meetings or materials developed, which we will use to promote this measure on our social media.
