2.The EDCTP2 annual work plan shall detail the budgeted value of each activity and shall provide for the allocation of the funding managed by the EDCTP2-IS, including the Union’s financial contribution.
The EDCTP2 annual work plan shall differentiate between the activities funded or co-funded by the Union and those funded by Participating States or other revenues.
