With the EU structural and investment funds period 2014-2020, it will also be possible for the first time to support projects of regional development within the limits of an EU Member State or in a transboundary context of several EU Member States implementing Territorial Agenda 2020. These new funding instruments of ESI Fund are: "development projects that are managed by local groups (Community-Led Local Development - CLLD) and Integrated Territorial Investments (Integrated Territorial Investments - ITI). Both support the sustainable spatial development and the promotion of functional space. Both point to new ways of financing these measures.
As these instruments are still largely unknown until now, DSN has been commissioned to create a feasibility study. Their results with case studies on the implementation of ITI and CLLD in the EU Member States were published in an online publication.
The publication is available in German, English and French.
