Call for EANET Projects Proposals
Participating Countries and partner organizations outside of EANET, can cooperate in a strong regional platform with extensive experience and knowledge, as part of the EANET Projects. EANET Projects contribute to achieving EANET objectives, using the EANET Project Fund, under the Medium-Term Plan (MTP) for the EANET (2021-2025) and other EANET guiding documents.
Typical activities led by the EANET focus on the monitoring of acid deposition and air quality, research, capacity building, and awareness-raising.
.
EANET Project Criteria
- Activities should be within the EANET Scope (more information on the Scope of the EANET can be found in the Instrument for Strengthening the Acid Deposition Monitoring Network in East Asia (EANET), and in the Annex to the Instrument.)
- The EANET Project Plan is in line with the principles defined in the EANET Project Fund and Project Guidelines.
- The EANET Project Plan clearly and reasonably indicates its objectives, activities, rationale to implement, tangible expected outputs, and outcomes.
- More than half of EANET Participating Countries (at least 7) are identified as beneficiaries directly and/or indirectly.
- Contents of the EANET Project Plans are considered and developed using criteria stated in ANNEX 3 of the Guidelines.
- Necessary resources other than from the EANET Project Fund (EPF) are secured or highly likely to be secured, while the allocation of EPF is the matter of the IG’s decision.
- At least one Co-Financer in-kind, is secured or highly likely to be secured. In the case of a small project of which the total amount of required resources is 30,000 USD or less, a financial contribution other than from the EPF is not always required, while in-kind contribution is encouraged.
- In principle, the Project period is around one year. Some types of projects can set their period up to 3 to 5 years, provided that such a Project has a mechanism to be reviewed by IG on the implementation of the Project for IG’s decision to continue or terminate.
