Bulgarian employers are eligible for grants of up to BGN 90,000 for business-oriented projects intended to promote the employment of people with long-term disabilities in a specialized work environment, the Labour and Social Policy Ministry said on Thursday.

The eligible beneficiaries - specialized enterprises and cooperatives of people with disabilities - have until June 20 to submit project proposals for creating new jobs or adapting existing jobs for disabled employees. The financing is provided by the Agency for People with Disabilities (APD).

Up to BGN 20,000 will be available for disabled persons' own-business start-up or development projects. The funding may be spent on investment costs, setting up a new enterprise, construction and repairs, workplace equipment, owner training, and minimum start-up capital. To be eligible, applicants must have 50% and more reduced working capacity and must not be owners or partners in another company. The closing date for the submission of proposals is June 19.

It was reported in late April that the Agency will finance a total of 21 projects for rehabilitation and integration of people with disabilities at an aggregate value of BGN 270,000. Activities in four components will be implemented under the projects: training, acquiring independent living skills, rehabilitation, art therapy, cultural sightseeing, participation in fairs, business exhibitions, sports competitions, concerts, etc.
