Background information and Lessons learnt
According to the experience of the previous Programming Periods (2000-2006 / 2007-2013 / 2014-2020) the ‘typical’ beneficiary of the CBC Programmes between Greece and North Macedonia is a relatively small organization, stemming from civil society and usually lacking the administrative capacity and experience to reach the funding resources, thus indicating a ‘funding gap’.
The “REGION OF CENTRAL MACEDONIA” is invited to submit a project proposal as outlined in the following Terms of Reference and apply specifically to the present Call for a Small Projects Fund Proposal.
The project proposal is submitted to MIS at the following website https://logon.ops.gr/ from 22/04/2026 (start date for submission of proposals), time 12.00 Eastern European Time (CET+1) until, exclusively, 19/06/2026 (deadline for submission of proposals 14.00 Eastern European Time (CET+1) by the SPF Beneficiary’s legal representative (personal user account of the legal representative).
