The selection of the 11 third-party projects was overseen by the three coordinating institutions and followed a rigorous and competitive evaluation process involving 112 proposals that were submitted in response to the AIRTEA call.
Third-party projects will start from March 1, 2022, for two and a half years.
FARA, ASARECA and EAFF congratulate the consortia that conceived and developed the 11 third-party projects selected for funding. We wish to register our strong appreciation of the 101 consortia that responded to the AIRTEA project call with proposals that were not selected. We wish the consortia responsible for implementing the selected projects success in delivering the expected outcomes and impact of the AIRTEA project and look forward to working with them towards this goal.
