Welcome
This page explain how to manage work packages and their activities in Beneficiary module. A work package groups one or more activities. An activity represents a set of tasks carried out by participating organisations as part of a project for Cooperation Partnership.
Information
Work Packages and related activities already approved by the National Agency in their project management system will be available in your project and can be viewed and edited. A Work Package cannot be deleted from the project and new Work Packages cannot be added manually. If required, contact your National Agency for an amendment. See Updates to project data in Beneficiary module for details.

Fields may vary depending on the action type of you project. Please read the onscreen information carefully to complete the relevant fields.
