Definition
Ineligible costs are expenses that cannot be covered by funding under programme rules.
Human Explanation
The organisation must cover these costs itself.
Why it Matters
Incorrectly claiming them may lead to financial corrections or rejection of part of a claim.
Conceptual Boundary
A cost that is ineligible in one programme may be eligible in another.
Practical Perspective
Review exclusions during project planning, before commitments are made.
