Description
1) Objective
The CEI Cooperation Fund co-finances CEI Cooperation Activities aimed at strengthening cooperation among CEI Member States. CEI Cooperation Activities are organised by institutions of CEI Member States to implement the strategic goals and main objectives set by the CEI Guidelines and Rules of Procedure and the CEI Plan of Action.
CEI Cooperation Activities aim at capacity building by knowledge transfer and sharing, in particular from EU CEI Member States to non-EU CEI Member States, and at exchanging experiences and good practice among all CEI Member States by favouring mobility and networking. In this context, particular attention will be paid to the involvement of non-EU CEI Member States and to a reasonable balance between participating EU and non- EU CEI Member States.
The activities proposed within this segment shall be aimed at contributing to develop forward-looking initiatives and projects for assistance to and cooperation with Ukraine, and for mitigating the current situation in the country, neighbouring countries and the entire CEI region, in line with the CEI Plan of Action 2024-2026 and the objectives of the Thematic Agenda. It is expected that the proposed activities would contribute to short- and medium-term engagement of institutions and civil society of the CEI countries for addressing the current situation in the region and paving the way for recovery and future restoration, taking into consideration the CEI mission towards European Integration and Sustainable Development.
2) Eligibility
Applicants shall be public and private entities based and registered in CEI Member States (including NGOs/CSOs) and international/regional organisations
3) Location
Actions must take place in CEI member countries: Austria, Bulgaria, Croatia, the Czech Republic, Hungary, Italy, Poland, Slovakia, and Slovenia, and non-members: Albania, Belarus, Bosnia and Herzegovina, North Macedonia, Rep. of Moldova, Montenegro, Serbia, and Ukraine.
