Information regarding COVID-19 to organisations with project funding
Forum Syd has a great understanding that organisations will not be able to carry out activities as planned and that it is difficult to plan ahead in this situation.
If a planning and follow-up trip is budgeted within your project, it may be postponed or canceled, Forum Syd does not need any justification for that. If a feasibility study is planned, it may also be postponed until later. If you need to make other major changes, you should contact your contact person at Forum Syd. This may, for example, apply to changes in project date dates, budget changes where individual budget items deviate by more than 10 percent and by more than SEK 5,000.
Most of Forum Syd's offices are closed until further notice and our staff are working remotely. Operations continue and we handle agreements, requisitions and other decisions as usual. However, some processes take longer than normal. We hope for your understanding.
