Third Amendment to the Collaboration Framework Agreement between the Canary Islands Employment Service and the Canary Islands Municipal Federation
Canary Islands Government Updates Collaboration Deal with Municipalities
Overview
The Canary Islands government has published a crucial update to its collaboration deal with local municipalities, aiming to boost economic development projects across the islands. This third amendment expands the participation window for local entities wishing to join the PRODAE program, which funds local economic initiatives for 2025 through 2028.
Key Changes
- Previously, municipalities had to adhere to strict filing deadlines within the first months of each year, limiting participation to those who acted quickly.
- The new change allows municipalities that didnāt sign up earlier to join later, specifically for the 2026, 2027, and 2028 project years.
- Applications for these years can now be submitted in line with the revised timeline.
Purpose and Impact
This move comes as the program prepares for another wave of funding and project execution, ensuring more local governments can get involved in promoting economic activities. The amendment will be formally published on the governmentās official bulletin and the serviceās notice board, making the changes official.
The updates reflect the governmentās effort to streamline processes and encourage broader local engagement, which could lead to more regional development and job opportunities in the coming years.
Expanding participation is particularly relevant as the islands seek to recover from economic challenges and diversify their economies.
