The Programme aims to improve and promote health in the Union to reduce the burden of communicable and non-communicable diseases by:
This topic focuses on the prevention of NCDs in the area of mental health including actions supporting vulnerable population groups, such as migrants, refugees, Roma people and displaced people from Ukraine.
This action is part of the Health promotion and disease prevention strand.
The activities will cover the promotion of mental health and prevention and management of mental health problems, supporting in particular persons under vulnerable circumstances/vulnerable population groups (such as migrants, refugees, Roma people and displaced people from Ukraine). The activities will run in parallel to the joint action and will include the implementation of projects involving civil society organisations to support the Member States’ authorities in implementing comprehensive public health policies in the area of mental health, the development and transfer of best practices, the development of public health guidelines, the preparation and roll-out of innovative approaches and projects supporting patient pathways, and launching of targeted projects to support vulnerable groups including migrants, refugees, Roma people and displaced persons from Ukraine.
Activities should also include an equity dimension and aim at reducing health inequalities.
The costs will be reimbursed at the funding rate fixed in the Grant Agreement (60%). Your organisation can apply for a higher project funding rate (80%) if your project is of “exceptional utility”. Actions shall be considered to have exceptional utility where at least 30% of the budget of the proposed action is allocated to Member States whose GNI per inhabitant is less than 90% of the Union average; or the project concerns actions with bodies from at least 14 Member States and where at least 4 are from Member States whose GNI per inhabitant is less than 90% of the EU average.
