Calls for Proposals

BESTbelt aims at unlocking the local potential along the European Green Belt by providing financial resources and consultation on how to effectively implement actions. With the BESTbelt Calls for Proposals, local stakeholders have the opportunity to implement activities to protect, restore and sustainably use natural resources along the European Green Belt.

All BESTbelt calls were organised in two stages. In the first stage, applicants submitted a concept note of their projects. If the concept notes were successful, applicants were invited to submit a detailed full proposal including a project plan, partner structure, budget, etc.
