About the project
The LAG board has chosen to prioritize the C4C umbrella project with approval as it will in its entirety lead to goal achievement according to the local development strategy.
The LAG board believes that umbrella projects are a good way to stimulate small-scale local development ideas. It is interesting to take inspiration from the ongoing EU project Communities for Climate C4C, which we can do with this umbrella project.
