Deutschland-Nederland KPF Governance EUREGIO

As a basis
for a well-functioning cross-border cooperation, it is important that citizens
and organizations in the programme area get to know each other and regularly
contact each other.

The Small
Project Fund (SPF) Governance EUREGIO offers financial support from the Interreg
programme for smaller projects and mini-projects. Projects in the field of Governance
are aimed at improving public administration. Beneficiaries are, for example,
municipalities and other organizations in the public sector.

With the SPF
Governance, Europe becomes visible and tangible for everyone in the region and
European values are conveyed through citizen-oriented concrete cooperation.

A flat-rate
grant of 750 euros can be used to support exchanges or events. Support of up to
€25,000 is possible for more extensive cooperation. The administrative burden
for the final beneficiaries is low due to the (exclusive) use of the simplified
cost options.

The Ems
Dollart Region, the EUREGIO, the Euregio Rhine-Waal and the euregio
rhein-maas-nord are lead partners of four SPFs each in the fields of health,
education, governance and people-to-people. Uniform decision-making criteria,
regular meetings, joint promotional activities and a unified front office for
all 16 funds ensure that the selected projects contribute equally to achieving
the objectives of the Interreg Germany-Nederland Operational Programme.

As a programme
instrument, the SPFs are accompanied by a monitoring structure consisting of
the Interreg partners or a delegation of the latter.
