Pnrr, what does the Mef-Cdp agreement provide to assist municipalities
The collaboration between the Ministry of the Economy and the Cassa Depositi e Prestiti will allow central administrations and local authorities to make use of consultancy and technical assistance services to achieve the objectives of the NRP. All the details
Aid (not free but controlled and based on a tariff) to municipalities that do not have staff up to the point of preparing programming and control tools in the context of the NRP.
This is in fact the objective of the collaboration between the Ministry of Economy and Finance (Mef) and Cassa Depositi e Prestiti (Cdp) for initiatives to support Public Administrations in the planning, definition, implementation, monitoring and evaluation phases of interventions of the National Recovery and Resilience Plan (Pnrr).
The goal is to strengthen the administrative capacity of Public Administrations (PA) to seize the opportunities of the NRP, accelerate the implementation of investments, facilitate compliance with deadlines and the achievement of objectives and targets, reads a note from the Cassa Depositi e loans, led by the managing director, Dario Scannapieco.
The coordination by the Mef will facilitate the implementation of the advisory and support activities carried out by Cdp towards the Administrations.
Because if the large municipalities – such as Milan and Rome – and some medium-sized cities are ready for the PNRR challenge, in many municipalities, not only small ones, there is no professionalism up to the challenge of the projects linked to the PNRR.
All the details.
WHAT IS THE MEF-CDP AGREEMENT FOR MUNICIPALITIES AND PNRR
The Framework Agreement signed today establishes the procedures for activating the Cdp to support central administrations and local authorities within the framework of the Pnrr.
DEFINITION OF ACTIVITY PLANS FOR MUNICIPALITIES AND PNRR
The agreement will lead to the definition of the so-called “Activity Plans” for each Ministry which will contain a detailed description of the initiatives to be carried out.
Furthermore, by virtue of specific conventions, the administrations that carry out the interventions of the NRP at the local level will be able to directly make use of Cdp (and of companies directly or indirectly controlled by it) for assistance and technical-operational support activities, for the management of funds and related activities.
THE PLANNED INTERVENTIONS
In detail, the support interventions envisaged in the Framework Agreement will concern: assistance to PAs in the planning and planning of interventions and in the definition of priorities (strategic context analysis, impact assessment, etc.); the identification of investment lines to be implemented through public-private partnership procedures; support for monitoring and verification of compliance with milestone and target implementation timelines (qualitative and quantitative objectives respectively) and the principles of gender equity, enhancement and protection of young people and reduction of territorial gaps; assistance to potential beneficiaries of the funds in the preparatory stages for the preparation of applications for funding; technical assistance to public administrations that carry out selective procedures aimed at allocating funds, also through support for the development of dedicated IT applications for the management of Pnrr intervention lines.
