In accordance with the work plan, the Project secretariat has completed the procedures aimed to the identification of the elements of good practice of the Project generated by the small grants scheme.

As agreed during the Steering Committee meeting held in Sarajevo on 4 November 2015, the Project secretariat set up Selection Committees in each beneficiary which took place on different days of January 2016. The Selection Committees were composed of the respective member of the Steering Committee (or a designated delegate), representatives of the local European Union Delegations and the Council of Europe as well as local short-term experts involved in the Project in an advisory capacity with no voting rights.

The final selection was made following agreed standard criteria and by consensus through a vote of all members of the Selection Committees. As a result of the vote, the seven selected small grant projects (one for each beneficiary) will receive an additional funding of €10,000 aimed to further the promotion of the element of good practice within the beneficiary and in the region.

Please find below a table presenting the selected elements of good practice followed by a brief description. For further information, please consult the report on the selection of good practices, available HERE.
