REGIONAL PRIORITIES – CENTRAL ASIA(DCI)
The Second Call will have some modifications regarding the eligibility parameters from the last. One of these is the introduction ofregional priorities.
The regional priorities are based on the EU's cooperation priorities with the Partner Countries as identified in its strategic documents concerning the neighbouring countries. Regional priorities have been established for both Joint Projects and Structural Measures and they will be included in the Second Call as Annexes 8 and 9.
It should be noted that:

    • National projects involving only one Partner Country must respect the national priorities.
    • Multi-country projects involving at least two Partner Countries in the same region must respect the regional priorities for that region.
    • Cross regional cooperation (between regions) is possible in multi-country projects provided that the theme of the proposal is listed as a regional priority for all the Partner Countries concerned.
    • Programme-wide priorities as foreseen in the first Call, where all the themes were open to multi-country projects, have been abolished in the Second Call.
