Multi-Measure projects (Action 1)
What is a Multi-Measure project?
Through a Multi-Measure project, a promoter who aims to carry out several Activities under Action 1 over a period of up to 18 months can submit a single application combining:
- either between two and five Activities of the same type (e.g. from two to five Youth Exchanges)
- or between two and five Activities of different types (e.g. one Multilateral Youth Exchange, two Youth Initiatives and one Youth Democracy Project).
All Activities supported through Action 1 can be combined within a Multi-Measure agreement, except for Bilateral and Trilateral Youth Exchanges. Please note that Multi-Measure applications submitted under Action 1 to the Executive Agency should concern sub-actions 1.1 and 1.3 exclusively.
The aims of a Multi-Measure project are specifically to:
- reduce the administrative burden on promoters that have experience in managing grants under the Youth in Action Programme or other European Union Programmes
- move the focus to quality aspects in project planning and implementation
- enable the setting up of wider visibility and dissemination measures.
What else should you know about a Multi-Measure project Action 1?
Each Activity foreseen in a Multi-Measure project will be assessed separately according to the criteria set above. The National Agency or Executive Agency may reject one of more Activities included in the Multi-Measure project due to non-compliance with any of the criteria above. In such cases, the project may still be approved even though the number of Activities will be reduced. This will imply a consequent reduction of the grant awarded to the project.
