Implementation of EU-funded grant schemes for the Turkish Cypriot community
The overall objective of the consultant’s assignment and activities is to achieve a fast and efficient identification and implementation of projects according to the IFE Facility’s objectives and rules. This comprises support and control of the beneficiaries’ projects and the corresponding use of grant funds for such projects, and contributions to monitoring and evaluation efforts. To this end, setting up and running an efficient and effective management system is to be achieved that includes a head office with support functions and local offices in each of the target countries of the Facility.
The objective of the IFE Facility is job creation in selected African countries, i.e. 100,000 additional jobs within five years. IFE will provide financial support for direct (SME) and indirect (cluster, business environment) job creation at country level. The basic idea is to use grant funding in a smart and catalytic way as to close gaps and overcome hurdles for sustainable employment.
