Minister: Eva Slavkovska
The ministry announces annual grants to "Programs of
Protection and Support for Youth." These consist of two
types of projects: projects with a worldwide scope and projects
with a regional or interregional scope.
The ministry's financial resources for youth organizations and
grant programs has been declining sharply. If inflation is taken
into consideration, the reduction in the funds available is even
more striking. Allocations for this purpose have dropped from 92
million crowns in 1992, to 50 million crowns in 1993 and 24
million crowns in 1994.
The structure of expenditures regarding subsidies for NGOs in
1994 was as follows:
| State Fund for Physical Culture: |
17,000,000 crowns |
| Official representation of the state: |
96,000,000 crowns |
| Science and research: |
180,000,000 crowns |
| Youth organizations: |
24,000,000 crowns |
Great enthusiasm, a willingness to work, and a broad
background with information services are evident at the Institute
of Information and Prognosis of the ministry. The institute
manages an extensive database on the project-grant submissions of
the ministry. A uniform information system on youth is being
developed (contact person: Dr. Slovikova). |
