The project “Financing personal expenditure for the implementation of OP II under the responsibility of the Ministry of Economy of the Slovak Republic – January 2021 – December 2021” aims at financing the salaries of staff involved in the implementation of OP II, at the closure of the 2007-2013 programming period under OP KaHR and at the preparation of the new programming period in 2021. The implementation of the project activities will create a basic precondition for ensuring stable, high-quality and motivated administrative capacities of the IB and the Ministry of Economic Affairs of the Slovak Republic. The average planned number of administrative capacities (ACs) financed under the project is 147 ACs. The duration of the project is 12 months. The project results in sufficient and qualified staffing to ensure the implementation and management of OP II and the preparation of the new 2021-2027 programming period.
