Programme General Objective
The programme general objective is to contribute to the economic, social and territorial development of the programme area by fostering integration, joint development and use of potentials and opportunities to make the area attractive to live and work.
Programme thematic priorities
TP 1: Promoting employment, labor mobility and social and cultural inclusion across the
border
The priority responds to growing unemployment, especially between the young and aims at
reinforcing the opportunities of specific target groups to access knowledge and skills and competences
demanded by the labor market. It also seeks to exploit potentials for the improvement and
development of quality social services and social innovation.
TP 2: Protecting the environment, promoting climate change adaptation and mitigation, risk
prevention and management
The priority responds to environmental issues caused by low level of quality and range of public
utilities (in particular solid waste and waste water treatment). Preservation and sustainable
management of natural values (forests, water) is a potential that will be further secured. High
vulnerability of the area concerning impacts of climate change, including flood and fires in particular
will be addressed jointly.
TP 3: Encouraging tourism and cultural and natural heritage
The programme area as one of the most culturally diverse and its exceptional nature values provide
good potential for the development of sustainable tourism and integration of offers around key
product already gaining significance. The actions supported within this priority will complement the
objectives and results of the first two priorities.
