These funds have supported projects that built bridges between people, institutions, and communities, turning ideas into meaningful outcomes. The interventions have spanned areas such as education, research, renewable energy and environmental protection, support for vulnerable groups, and projects that strengthened the rule of law, trained public administrations, and supported civic organisations.
