Code: 28731 | Identifier Code: C5.2I2 / C5.2I3 | Programme name: 13609 | Start submission calls: 24/02/2023 | End submission calls: 30/06/2023

The objective of the Scheme is the establishment of new social care structures or the upgrading/expansion of existing structures by creating additional positions, thus strengthening the welfare state and promoting social inclusion and well-being.

The Scheme, in the context of its first call for applications, focuses on the following priorities, in line with the corresponding challenges that Cyprus faces:

(α)  Establishment of new or upgrading/expansion of existing Multifuctional Centers for Children (day care centers/nurseries for pre-school aged children 0-4 year and school aged children 6-13 years), as well as Childcare Centers (day care centers/nurseries for pre-school aged children 0-4 years). The objective of this action is the provision of affordable quality care and social development services for children. This will contribute to increasing women’s participation in the labour market, gender equality, improve employment in general and contribute to increasing the fertility rate, reducing the risk of poverty as well as reducing inequalities.

 (b)  Establishment of new or upgrade/expansion of existing 24hour Care Centers for people who are in need for Long Term Care (small role model community-based housing units for hosting up to Persons).
The objective is to address gaps in the provision of long-term care services.
