Det vil bli tillakt vekt at tiltaket er i tråd med mottakerlandets overordnede prioriteringer.
The project should have a long-term perspective and should become self-sustaining within a reasonable period of time, and thus able to continue without Norwegian funding.
Tiltaket bør ha en viss langsiktighet og kontinuitet, og skal innen rimelig tid kunne bli levedyktig og dermed kunne videreføres uten norsk offentlig støtte.
Full and correct information about the recipient, the project, the budget and funding, etc. must be given.
Tiltak der søker bidrar med egenfinansiering/-innsats vil bli prioritert.
Applications for projects in different countries must be submitted separately.
Tilskuddet gis i NOK.

Det vil være tilskuddsmottakers og eventuelle samarbeidspartneres ansvar å besørge behørig forsikring av utstyr, inventar og utsendt personale som finansieres av tilskuddet der det er mulig og nødvendig.
