21. Jan 2022.


All interested parties, primarily returnees from Germany and other Western European countries, from the territory of Sremska Mitrovica, Ruma and Pećinci, who meet the required conditions (see the public invitation in the attachment) are invited to apply for construction assistance by February 11, 2021.

This construction assistance is one of the types of support within the project "ASSISTANCE FOR A NEW BEGINNING" and aims to improve housing conditions in 25 family housing facilities in which families live and which are owned by them.

Priority is given to vulnerable returnee families, but up to 20% of the supported may be non-returnees from marginalized groups living in similar conditions.

Assistance is given primarily to families who do not have a bathroom or it is in a very bad condition (in order to provide them with a minimum of hygiene), or have some other major deficiencies in the facility that endanger their housing.

The support includes both the construction material for the execution of works, which the families perform themselves, as well as professional support from EHO engineers in the planning and execution of construction works. Only installation works on the bathroom and installation of tiles are performed by authorized contractors hired and paid for by EHO.

The application for the public call can be submitted in person - once a week in each location EHO field assistants will be on duty to collect applications and provide detailed information on support within this project, as well as by mail –by sending the required documents (photocopies only) to the Ecumenical Humanitarian Organization .The deadline for submitting applications for the public call is February 11, 2022.

The services provided are supported by the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH under the Migration for Development (PME) Programme. The Programme is part of the global initiative “Returning to New Opportunities” of the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ).
