Projects proposed for financing under the RCF first call

The RCF opened the First Call for Expressions of Interest from February 1st until April 30^th, 2021, and received 205 applications from consortia of vocational training institutes and enterprises from all Western Balkan economies. The eligibility and compliance checks based on the predefined eligibility criteria resulted in shortlisting 64 consortia. These consortia were further invited to prepare the full project proposals with the submission deadline of July 30^th, 2021.  

In the second step of the evaluation, external selection experts reviewed and scored the applications based on the set of selection criteria, assessing the concept, feasibility and plausibility, and the ambition of the submitted projects. The ranking list was prepared based on the scoring results, and the 23 most successful projects from the WB6 region are now proposed for financing. You can see the list of the successful consortia HERE.

All consortia whose projects were not proposed for financing under the first call will be allowed to reapply. The second Call for Expressions of Interest is planned to be published by the end of February 2022.
