Programme summary

Programme Concerns

No more than 50% of the total eligible expenditure of the programme areas “Work-life Balance” and “Domestic and Gender-based Violence” shall be available for infrastructure (hard measures).

The programme shall focus on gender equality and work-life balance, with a special concern on research, local development and social cohesion. Pre-defined projects with relevant donor project partners in the areas of gender equality and work-life balance, especially on 1) gender pay gap; 2) national data systems to promote work-life balance and gender equality; 3) gender mainstreaming in education and vocational training, may be explored in the concept note phase.

Bilateral Ambitions

€100,000 shall be allocated to the programme from the fund for bilateral relations. This does not prevent the Joint Committee for Bilateral Funds from allocating additional funds to the programme.
