ASIA IT&C PROGRAMME

The Asia IT&C Programme was launched in October 1999 as an initiative by the European Union (EU) in order to co-finance mutually beneficial projects in Information Technology and Communication between Europe and Asia. Information Technology and Communication is a cross-cutting theme, which supports and enhances the development and co-operation policy of the EU. The total budget allocated to the First Phase of the Programme was €30 million. In November 2003 a Second Phase of the Asia IT&C Programme was approved. EU-Asia IT&C Phase II rolls out in 2004 and the indicative amount available for the 2004 Call will be €9.95 million.

The Programme can supply up to 90% co-financing to Information Technology and Communication projects proposed by a consortium of non-profit organisations from EU Member States and selected Asian countries in the areas of agriculture, e-Governance, education, health, environment, and transport. The 90% co-financing will apply only to those actions, where the main beneficiaries are in one of the 8 Least Developed Counties.
