Cross-Border Relevance
Measure 5 is specifically for cross-border projects. Measure 5.3 focuses on reconciliation; Measure 5.4 focuses on employability. All projects must meet the distinctiveness criteria – addressing the legacy of the conflict and/or taking opportunities arising from peace. In addition, some other measures, e.g. 2.7, encourage a cross-border aspect to proposals, although the project must be located on one side of the border.
