The project “Financing of wages, remunerations and employer’s contributions for eligible employees of the Ministry of Economic Affairs of the Slovak Republic and the remuneration of employees outside the employment relationship under OP R & I – April 2018 – March 2019” aims at financing the salaries of the employees involved in the implementation of the R & I OP and the completion of the 2007-2013 programming period under OP KaHR in 2018 and 2019. 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 annual planned number of administrative capacities (ACs) financed under the project is 171 ACs. The duration of the project is 12 months. The result of the project is sufficient and qualified staffing for the implementation and management of the R & I OP, as well as ensuring that turnover of staff involved in the implementation of the R & I OP is avoided or reduced.
