Studies CAP-analysis: Own chapter in the CAP-plan. Smart actions can be funded through LAG s or the Centres for Economic Development, Transport and the Environment Programmes and financing - Programme level synergies are lagging behind? - Rural/villages/communities were not very present in any of the checked programmes. The keyword local seem to be much more present at a general level. - NGO s, citizens were mentioned more often as target groups (capacity building) or potential partners in projects. NGO s are mentioned as potential applicants, but often in reality they do not have enough financial capacities or resources. - Innovations, smart, piloting were strongly present in most of the programmes, local being often mentioned as the place for experimentation, piloting or being subject of capacity building measures. - Overall, there seem to be forward looking and partnership processes, remains to be seen how policy and funding flows will reach local actors and economy
Studies 2 : programmes and financing suggestions Suggestions - Mainstream Smart Villages development in EU/national LEADER programmes. Increase funding. - Include local participation and funding by earmarking. - Finding policy solutions and funding for smart villages (eg. Smart place programme or subprogramme ) through innovation partnerships tools (ref. EIP) or local consortium tools (Ref. Horizon, ERASMUS KA2) at a smaller scale. - Simplified tools: (eg. lump sum model ESF-pilots)
