THIS PROJECT IS FUNDED BY THE EUROPEAN UNION.

BACKGROUND

The Technical Committees were established by the leaders of the Greek Cypriot and Turkish Cypriot communities under the auspices of the United Nations, to address issues that affect the day-to-day life of people, through encouraging and facilitating greater interaction and understanding between the two communities.

The overall objective of the ‘Support Facility to the Technical Committees’ is to support the work of the Technical Committees established by the two leaders in the context of the talks, with the provision of financial, conceptual, and operational support in the preparation and realization of small, ad-hoc activities as well as more substantive projects and interventions in support of confidence building measures. 

OBJECTIVES: 

• support and enable the Technical Committees to adopt island-wide solutions for issues of common concern and to implement these in a strategic manner; 

• strengthen the capacity of the Technical Committees as effective mechanisms for identifying, planning and implementing projects/initiatives that foster mutual understanding and cooperation.
