What is the objective of the SMF call?
The objective of the seed money facility support is to prepare projects for further funding sources, regardless the financial instrument to be addressed by the project developed, be it national, mainstream EU, transnational or cross border or by any other public or private investor (such as IFIs) or public-private partnership available in the Danube Region.
The developed projects shall be:
- Complex – projects which are comprehensive of different actions/activities meant to address wide scopes;
- Strategic – relevant for the Danube area, where the relevance is linked to core needs expressed by the Danube countries and endorsed by the Monitoring Committee;

The DRP offers its financial support in achieving the above mentioned objective, in line with the provisions of its Specific Objective 4.1.
