The manual “How to Write A Successful Project Proposal with EU Funding” serves as an essential reference tool for the European integration and aid coordination units in the country’s 61 municipalities, as well as for municipal staff and other stakeholders interested in crafting competitive and successful proposals within the framework of European Union financial opportunities.
Prepared by experts from the “Municipalities for Europe” Project, drawing on the experience of the “EU for Municipalities” Project, the manual offers comprehensive guidance on EU grants. It covers the preparation of concept notes, the full proposal format based on the PCM/Logical Framework approach, and step-by-step budget preparation with accompanying examples. The manual also includes valuable advice from municipalities that have benefited from EU funds and insights from specialized training sessions on writing successful project proposals, reflecting the knowledge gained over the last five years through the “Municipalities for Europe” and “EU for Municipalities” projects.
