Important notice 8 June 2018

We inform potential applicants that the method of submitting project applications in the eFondovi system has changed.

Prior to submission, the project application must be placed in the ‘Fit for Send’ status, with all checks on the Application Form being carried out. The described functionality was introduced in order to carry out checks earlier and relieve the eFondovi system when submitting project applications.

The ‘Submit’ action button has been moved to the applicant’s homepage and will be visible only to the Authorised Person after the ‘Save for Send’ action has been selected after filling in the application form.

The submission process is described in detail in the User Manual for Applicants available on the public part of the portal eFunds and on your user interface.

Thank you for your understanding!
