Each selection committee consists of three voting members – AIF Director, representative of civil society and representative of state administration. The representatives from the Ministry of Finance, the Royal Norwegian Embassy in Latvia and the EEA/Norway Financial Mechanisms Office (FMO) will be invited to participate as observers.
The task of the project selection committee is to prepare a ranking of projects to be approved by the Board of the Consortium on the basis of the results of the work carried out by the project assessors as well as taking into account the strategic compliance of projects with the objective and principles of the AIF, the overall results of the selected outcome, outputs and their indicators, the thematic areas of the projects and their specific conditions.
Active Citizens Fund expresses appreciation to the State Chancellery and the Memorandum Council for the contribution in nominating representatives of the civil society and the state administration for work in project selection committees.
