NFP4Health2
This project aims to strengthen the capacity of the National Focal Points (NFP) in the health sector as it will focus on building advanced capacities of NFPs by improving their ability to provide expert support, promoting synergies with national health initiatives and streamlining EU programme implementation across member states. Through this effort, the project will promote the role of the NFP network as a central pillar in achieving the EU health objectives.
The project will provide comprehensive peer-to-peer training programmes covering recent changes in EU health policies and funding frameworks, ensuring that NFPs are well-prepared to help national applicants navigate these processes, as well as tailored support for potential beneficiaries of EU4Health projects. The project will create an ‘NFP Knowledge Hub’, a centralised repository of information, tools and resources tailored to NFPs. This knowledge hub will provide access to training materials, guidelines and best practices, serving as a one-stop resource to improve the capacity of NFPs. These measures are designed to ensure that NFPs have both the resources and networks required to support national health objectives and align them with EU priorities.
By strengthening the already existing network and increasing the capacity of NFPs at national level, NFP4Health2 will effectively support the European Commission in implementing the EU4HEALTH programme in the Member States, ultimately contributing to improved health outcomes across Europe.
