Applications should relate to at least one key target group and thematic area in order to be eligible for consideration.

Target groups and thematic areas

The funding available under the Scheme is for capital projects or elements of projects only. Current projects in part or full will not be funded. In cases where both current and capital works are carried out together, only the capital element can be funded through this Scheme.
