The European Commission (EC) is pleased to announce a call for proposals for Technical Assistance preparation of Strategic Nature Projects (SNAPs):

- Prioritised Action Frameworks (PAF) and/or
- Other plans or strategies adopted at international, national, regional or multiregional level by nature and biodiversity authorities, that implement EU nature and/or biodiversity policy or legislation,

- with the involvement of all concerned stakeholders
- and include a coordination mechanism for funding supporting complementary measures necessary for the full implementation of the targeted PAF (or other eligible strategy).
The SNAP proposal prepared in the framework of TA-PP project has to be of good quality and has to be eligible for LIFE funding. If failure to submit eligible and quality SNAP proposal is due to the poor performance, negligence or mistake of the beneficiary of the TA-PP project, the granting authority reserves the right to recover any pre-financing and to declare all TA- PP project costs ineligible.
Expected Impact: A proposal for a Technical Assistance project is expected to support the applicant during preparation of an eligible SNAP proposal of good quality that targets an eligible PAF, plan or strategy. The proposals must also demonstrate that the proposed action is of Union interest by making a contribution to the achievement of one of the general objectives of the LIFE Programme set out in Article 3 of the LIFE regulation.
