PROG 2017-2021_Structuurkosten

Structural costs are defied in Belgium by the law on non-governmental development cooperation (11 SEPTEMBER 2016. — Koninklijk besluit betreffende de niet-gouvernementele samenwerking) and refer to the costs related to the realisation of the societal objective of the organisation receiving the grant that - although influenced by the implementation of the intervention of development cooperation- cannot be separated and cannot be charged on the budget of the intervention for which the organization received the grant (Art. 1 12°) . Structural costs are calculated at a fixed rate of 7% of the direct costs of the intervention that received a grant (Art. 29 §2).
