Programme summary

Programme Concerns

The possibility of pre-defining project(s) with the Association of Polish Cities, the Norwegian Association of Local and Regional Authorities (KS) and the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) shall be explored when developing the concept note.

The programme shall ensure a systemic approach to local development and poverty reduction and may inter alia include measures in energy, environment, SMEs, business, education, housing improvement, employment, health components, transport management systems, public administration reform and support to local administration.

There is an ambition that no less than 40% of the total eligible expenditure of the programme shall be available for soft measures. All projects selected under the open call should include soft measures.

Bilateral Ambitions

shall be allocated to the programme from the fund for bilateral relations. This does not prevent the Joint Committee for Bilateral Funds from allocating additional funds to the programme.
