Public Health

• At least 40 % of the total eligible expenditure of the programme shall be allocated to projects that contribute to the “domestic and gender-based violence” programme area. Within this allocation, prevention of domestic and gender‑based violence and improved access to coordinated and victim‑centred support services shall be supported. Activities aimed at child protection and child‑friendly justice, including strengthening multidisciplinary responses for child victims through the Barnahus model, shall be supported. Cooperation with the Council of Europe shall be facilitated. Participation in the SYNERGY Network against Gender-based and Domestic Violence shall be supported.
• Investment in infrastructure and equipment (hard measures) shall only be supported alongside capacity building, training, or experience sharing (soft measures).
• The maximum level of funding for investment in infrastructure and equipment (hard measures) shall be approximately 50%. The final level shall be set in the Programme Agreement.
• The possibility of pre-defining projects shall be explored when developing the Concept Note.
• The programme shall address key public health and gender equality challenges in Slovenia through preventive, rights‑based and inclusive measures. It shall contribute to improved public health outcomes, reduced inequalities, and strengthened protection against domestic and gender‑based violence. The programme shall contribute to improving public health, social inclusion, and strengthened protection against domestic and gender-based violence for groups in vulnerable situations.
• The programme shall strengthen cooperation with civil society organisations and promote community‑based and cross‑sectoral approaches.
• The programme shall support women’s health, including access to gynaecological, perinatal and reproductive health services, as well as mental health promotion and early‑intervention activities. Particular attention shall be given to underserved groups and groups in vulnerable situations.
• The public institution(s) in the Republic of Slovenia in charge of the relevant policy area(s) shall be actively involved in the preparation and implementation of the programme.

No projects have been signed under this programme. That is a real state rather than a gap in the data: bilateral funds and newly agreed programmes both sit here.
