“…KNOW-HOW TRANSFER AND BEST PRACTICES FROM EU TO NON-EU COUNTRIES…”

 

The Know-how Exchange Programme (KEP) is an instrument supporting projects and programmes focused on the transfer of know-how and best practices from EU to non-EU CEI Member States. By co‐financing capacity building and technical assistance projects, the KEP offers grants to institutions willing to share their experience with their partners, thus helping non-members to advance on their path towards EU standards and policies. The KEP operates through calls for proposals with funding made available by Italy through the CEI Fund at the EBRD.

To date, 137 projects have been financed for a total CEI Fund contribution of over 4 million EUR with an overall project value amounting to over 16 million EUR.

OBJECTIVES

  • Enhancing European integration
  • Strengthen economic and social advancement of the non-EU CEI Member States.
  • Promote principles of foreign development aid and support international collaboration among institutions in CEI member countries.
