Presented projects will be submitted (via Czech Embassy in Yerevan) to the Selection Committee of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Czech Republic for final decision. The Committee mainly evaluates 1) formalities of presented proposal, 2) relevance of the project regarding local needs and Eastern Partnership, 3) usefulness of the project, 4) efficiency and effectiveness (use of right indicators, transparent budget structure, cost sharing etc.), 5) sustainability of the project (ownership of the project, capacity, possibility of further financing etc.).
The implementation of the project can start after signing of the contract with the Embassy (approximately in May 2017) and needs to be completed on October 10, 2017 at the latest.
