Bistro (Tacis)

Budget Line Number
B7-520

Budget Amount
N/A

Objectives

The Tacis Bistro program is designed to respond quickly to requests for support to small-scale projects (with a duration of no more than 9 months and a budget of up to 100,000 Euro) anywhere in the Russian Federation and Ukraine.

The priority areas include enterprise support and financial services, human resources (education and training, public administration), social protection, food production, processing and distribution, agriculture, energy, transport, telecommunications and environment.

The projects may involve:

• study tours, to enable Russian/Ukrainian participants to access western know-how;

• conferences and seminars, to bring together people with particular expertise and knowledge;

• written expertise (studies, reports);

• small pilot projects.

Bistro does not pay for scholarships or other individual educational activities, nor does it support equipment purchases only. Bistro projects should also not benefit just one actor but should have a systemic impact, with results that can benefit a number of actors in the sector either directly or through the dissemination of results.

Eligibility

Any EU, Russian or Ukrainian-based organisation may propose a project.

Bistro does not provide complementary funding for projects already financed through the main Tacis program. Application forms and guidelines are available from the EC delegations mentioned below.

Geographical Area

Russian Federation and Ukraine.
