The Gozo Action Group Foundation (GAGF) announces the pre-launch of Measure 3 ‘Empowering Communities to Act as Environmental Stewards’ – under the EU funded CAP Strategic Plan (LEADER) 2023-2027. This action is part of the Local Development Strategy for Gozo and Comino.
The aim of this measure is to improve the quality of the environment of the Region through small-scale initiatives within the territory. This measure will enable communities to put into action small-scale plans aimed at improving the quality of life through interventions that would address water conversation, climate change, biodiversity, waste management and emissions to the environment.
The total budget allocated for this measure is €415,418.81 of public funds. The minimum amount of assistance that can be requested by the applicant is €15,000, while the maximum is €50,000. The aid intensity is 80%, as per CAP SP (2023-2027).
The eligible beneficiaries are Local and Regional councils, VOs, Educational Institutes and micro and small enterprises. All applicants must have a physical centre of activity located in the Gozo region and/or have a direct interest in activities in the region, proven through a track record. A partnership between entities towards an application is not a requirement.
The call for proposals will open on Friday, 9th of May 2025 as an Open Block Call Procedure. This means that a batch of applications received with a respective time block will be assessed separately from applications received in subsequent batches.
The measure will be officially launched on Wednesday, 30th of April 2025, with further details to be given. The Application and Guidance Notes will then be published on the GAGF’s website.
