Description
Within the framework of the AMIF 21-27 program: Psychological Support, projects in Vienna are supported that specifically assist vulnerable third-country nationals – such as victims of human trafficking and unaccompanied minor refugees – through professional, culturally sensitive, and interpreter-assisted psychotherapy as well as psychological care. The focus is on trauma-related disorders that cannot be addressed within the regular healthcare system. Individualized therapy offerings with interpreters are specifically designed to promote the regaining of self-determination and agency. The goal is to activate personal resources, build future perspectives, and restore self-responsibility in a safe environment.
Applicants for funding can be public institutions, non-profit organizations, companies, international organizations, and cooperative partnerships. The minimum funding amount is €100,000 per project per year, while the total fund volume amounts to up to €7.53 million. EU funds cover 75% to 90% of eligible costs (personnel expenses, interpreter and material costs, travel expenses, subcontracts, real estate costs), with own funds or alternative co-financing taken into account. Selection is conducted through a transparent procedure with evaluation criteria such as relevance to the target group, alignment with AMIF objectives, as well as cost-effectiveness and sustainability. Applications must be submitted by December 31, 2029, within the framework of public calls. In addition to a detailed project and financing plan, curricula vitae of key personnel and certificates of good standing must be included, among other documents. Ongoing monitoring, interim, and final reports ensure and evaluate the efficiency and impact of the measures.
