UfM on the ground: labelled projects

The UfM Secretariat acts as a catalyst of projects, accompanying promoters throughout the project lifecycle and enhancing regional dialogue to create synergies for partnerships. It provides support towards ensuring the implementation of the projects through technical expertise, networking opportunities and visibility, and promotes innovative ideas to maximize results and impact for the people of the Mediterranean region.

The UfM label is granted to projects by a decision of UfM Senior Officials adopted by consensus in a meeting or through silence procedure. The UfM label enables project promoters to mobilize stakeholders and resources, raise awareness and visibility as well as facilitate access to a network of potential donors and partners, capitalizing on the convening power of the UfM.

The UfM has also launched its own Grant Schemes in response to the economic crisis at regional, national, and local levels, by improving the citizens’ employment situation as well as the business environment for entrepreneurs and MSMEs. More info here.
