Target Group

State, regional and local authorities, universities, NGOs, professional chambers and unions, associations

Context

In the 90s, more than 80 partnerships were established between Swiss and Czech municipalities with the aim to assist with strengthening political structures and organisation of their functioning. Later on, the partnerships shifted rather to a social and cultural exchange.

During the preparation of the Swiss Contribution, various stakeholders in Switzerland (cities, trade unions) signalled their interest to intensify partnerships and implement joint projects with their Czech partner.

Goals

The Partnership Fund encourages development of mutual cooperation and partnerships between Czech and Swiss bodies.

The Fund aims at supporting Swiss-Czech links through the exchange of information, transfer of know-how and best practices within projects implemented in the Czech Republic.

Activities

Call for project proposals periodically invite applicants to submit their sub-projects in specific thematic areas. The submitted sub-projects are assessed by an evaluation committee, which is composed of different Czech bodies (NGO, Social partners umbrella organisations, towns and regions) as well as the Swiss Embassy. The implementation of the selected projects will be monitored by the Intermediary.

Results

The expected results are:

Managerial set-up of the Fund is established and operational;
Open calls with necessary information activities are organized and submitted applications assessed;

Sub-projects are implemented under control and supervision of the MoF and accompanied by information and publicity measure.
