Justification research climate actions Romania and Latvia

Justification research based on relevant sources, for the design of an intervention to strengthen the role of civil society, the education sector, and small businesses in actions addressing climate change in Romania and Latvia.

The justification research for accessing non-reimbursable European funds was carried out to support a transnational initiative in the field of climate action, developed in partnership between organisations from Romania and Latvia. In an increasingly competitive European funding environment, a solid substantiation of needs is essential for the success of a funding application.

Project context and beneficiary challenges

The client intended to submit a funding application focused on climate action, but faced a major challenge: the lack of credible, relevant and up-to-date information to convincingly justify the need for the proposed intervention. Although the project idea was well defined, its justification in relation to the realities in Romania and Latvia required thorough and structured research.

Research and documentation activities based on relevant sources

ILIGRA’s intervention consisted of a complex process of justification research for accessing non-reimbursable European funds, which included:

• identifying and analysing specialised studies on climate change and its impact at regional level;
• reviewing official reports published by European institutions and international organisations;
• analysing national strategic documents from Romania and Latvia;
• collecting relevant statistical data to highlight real needs;
• synthesising information into a coherent format tailored to the funder’s requirements.

All these activities aimed to build a solid justification, based exclusively on credible and recognised sources, ensuring that the project clearly demonstrates the relevance and timeliness of the proposed intervention.

Results achieved and impact on the funding application

Following the research and analysis process, a clear and well-argued justification of the project’s necessity was developed. This highlighted both the existing issues and how the proposed solution directly addresses these needs, in line with European priorities on climate action.

The final outcome was the integration of this research into the funding application, contributing to a positive evaluation by the funding body. The project demonstrates the importance of professionally conducted justification research for accessing non-reimbursable European funds as a foundation for developing relevant and competitive initiatives at European level.
