How can the beneficiary make unilateral amendments (minor modifications) in the Description of the Action (DoA) and Logical Framework Matrix (LFM) of the EU funded grant projects? 

Unilateral changes (minor modifications) in the description of the action and the logical framework that do not affect the expected results (impact, outcomes, outputs) are allowed as long as they do not call into question the initial award of the grant or the equal treatment of applicants.

Unilateral changes (minor modifications) in the DoA and LFM should be submitted to the Contracting Authority (is EUD under the direct management modality) in written format with reasons and justifications for approval before the date on which changes should enter into force. Approved changes must be explained in the next report.

For approval of the EUD, it’s advised to indicate proposed amendments in the form of track changes on DoA and LFM documents with a signed and stamped amendment request letter which gives justifications regarding intended changes. Hard copy and soft copy versions (via e-mail) of documents are recommended to submit to the EUD. (This does not exist in the Companion. The mentioned documentation requests have been observed by STGM in the course of EUD’s practices.)
