Call for expressions of interest: Employment and Social Innovation programme Technical Assistance

To build the emerging European social enterprise finance sector and to facilitate access to EaSI financial instruments, the European Commission is extending the scope for the provision of EaSI technical assistance - which previously focused only on microcredit providers - to cover also the needs of social enterprise finance providers.

The technical assistance support services will be performed by a consortium of service providers on behalf of the European Commission. The lead partner of the consortium is the European Center for Social Finance at the Munich Business School.

Under the call launched today, the European Commission seeks expressions of interest from social enterprise finance intermediaries wishing to improve relevant aspects of their operations, performance and governance, with a view to boosting their institutional capacity.

The selected organisations will be entitled to receive technical assistance services, free of charge. Two strands of support services will be offered:

  • Provision of targeted capacity building services
  • Exchange and dissemination of good practices in the European social enterprise finance sector.

To find out more about the services offered, eligibility requirements and how to apply, have a look at the 'Related documents' section below. The template for expression of interest and the declaration on honour are also available in Word.
