| Background |
Poorer regions do not have the financial means to prepare a good Final Project Proposal. Likewise, complex projects demand a costly preparation. |
| Objectives |
The goal of the PPF was to ensure the efficient preparation of good quality Final Project Proposals. |
| Target groups |
Executing Agencies / Intermediate bodies |
| Activities |
The PPF could be used for mandates of competent external experts for preparing studies, e.g. feasibility studies, environmental impact assessments, and/or translations into English. |
| Results |
Achieved results: The Project Preparation has significantly contributed to the thorough preparation of Swiss funded projects. It allowed the Executing Agencies and Intermediate Bodies to elaborate high-quality project documentation. Therefore, the Project Preparation Facility played a major role in enabling Switzerland to approve all the projects and to fully commit all the available funds by June 2012. |
