Background
The European Partnership with Municipalities Programme (EU PROGRES) has been conceived to assist some of the most underdeveloped municipalities in Serbia which lag behind other parts of the country across a wide range of social and economic indicators.
As this situation has multiple causes, there are no simple, single-sector solutions. Therefore, EU PROGRES takes an area-based rather than a sectoral approach, tackling a broad range of issues, such as: infrastructure development, improving the quality of municipal services, and strengthening governance. Taken together, this work will contribute to accelerating development of the South and South West Serbia, and perhaps help to close the development gap with the rest of the country.
Objectives
The Overall Objective is to contribute to enhanced stability and socio-economic development in Serbia’s poorest and most conflict-prone regions: the South and South West Serbia.
The Specific Objective is to enhance governance, municipal and inter-municipal management capacity and social, economic and physical infrastructure in a holistic, area-focused fashion.
Size of grants
Any grant awarded under this Call for Proposals must fall between the following minimum and maximum amounts:
- minimum amount: EUR 20,000
- maximum amount: EUR 100,000
Deadline: 31 January 2013
