Financial Resources

Presently, ATTF cooperates with 36 countries (see above): new members of the EU, other European countries/regions and emerging countries all over the world.

At the end of each year, ATTF develops an official cooperation programme with each of its official partners in 36 countries for the following year. This cooperation is largely financed by the Luxembourg Government, the remaining costs being borne by the participants of the involved countries (such as a small contribution for the participation to the seminars organised in Luxembourg and the flight tickets, local organisational costs for seminars organised in partner countries).

Beyond the cooperation programmes mentioned above, for a fee, additional programmes can be offered either to the 36 partner countries or to emerging countries having no official cooperation programmes with ATTF. In this last case, cooperation will be decided on a case by case basis by the Board of ATTF. In such circumstances, the prices are divided into three categories which are mainly defined according to the level of GDP per capita and the level of development of the financial system of the country involved. On request, ATTF can give detailed information about this pricing policy which aims to bring help to countries/regions with an economy in transition or an emerging economy. The offer of such additional programmes depends however on the availability of ATTF means (experts, staff members, time…).

In addition to programmes financed by the Luxembourg Government and those organised on a paying basis, a third possibility exists. The financing of programmes can also be shared between the Luxembourg Government through ATTF and one given partner country, in proportions defined on a case by case basis. This gives the concerned partner country the possibility to get more programmes with the budget allocated to it by ATTF.
