The project LEP II, financed by the European Union, has opened a call for proposals to support Local Employment Partnerships (LEP)  in Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH).  This call is open for all labour market actors who aim to form partnerships at the local level and members of existing employment partnerships in Bosnia and Herzegovina. The final beneficiaries of all project proposals are unemployed persons registered at employment services.

The total indicative budget for this public call is €3.2 million, to be allocated to a minimum of 20 local employment partnerships. Grant funds range from a minimum of €120,000 to a maximum of €160,000.
