In 2024 there will be significant changes to the eligibility regulations for NATO Common Funding for SMEs originating outside of the NCS required to deliver NATO-provided courses. For SMEs originating outside of the NCS, required to deliver NATO-provided courses both their travel and subsistence cost are now eligible for reimbursement. It should be noted that although the eligibility rules have changed reimbursement may be limited by affordability (i.e. the level of funds available). Furthermore, reimbursement only applies to SMEs from NATO nations. E&T Facilities providing those NATO training solutions are requested to provide a 2024 SME funding support forecast by 17th November 2023 to [email protected]. After validation, a Purchase Order (PO) will be issued by HQ SACT. E&T Facilities requesting the support are responsible to ensure the most cost-effective methods are applied according to the different national regulations, that no duplicative national claims are made by the SMEs, and shall provide detailed statements to HQ SACT of the conditions under which the activities were performed together with the reimbursement requests. The maximum level of subsistence funding will be the equivalent to those applied for NATO International Civilians.
