Professional and advisory assistance

DEVELOPMENT PROJECTS

CTR – Center for Development of Brod – Posavina County carries out activities of advisory and professional assistance in the preparation and implementation of projects (co)financed from the European Structural and Investment Funds, community programs, cross-border cooperation programs and other EU programs.

Professional and advisory assistance is intended for public law bodies and public institutions.

Development projects will have to fit into some of the specific interventions and measures, and it will potentially relate to:

Green transition and digital transformation

Green transition and digital transformation are the main drivers of the European Union's recovery and long-term growth. The economic recovery must not be to the detriment of the European Union's green, digital and innovation potential as well as the functioning of the unique market.
European Green Plan

The European Green Agenda is a new growth strategy that seeks to transform the EU into a just and prosperous society with a modern, resource-efficient and competitive economy in which there will be no net greenhouse gas emissions in 2050 and in which economic growth is not linked to usage ofresources.

In addition, it seeks to protect, preserve and increase the EU's natural capital and to protect the health and well-being of citizens from environmental risks and environmental impacts. This transition must be both fair and inclusive. In doing so, people must come first and attention must be paid to the regions, industries and workers who will face the greatest challenges. As significant changes take place, active public participation and confidence in the transition are crucial for policies to be successful and accepted.
Digital transition

The digital transition should primarily serve people and businesses and open up new opportunities. Digital solutions are a key factor in the fight against climate change and the realization of the green transition. The European approach will rely on three main pillars to ensure that Europe seizes the opportunity and gives citizens, businesses and public administrations control over the digital transformation. The pillars are: technology in the interest of citizens, a fair digital economy that encourages competition, an open, democratic and sustainable society. Digital technologies should make everyday life easier for European citizens, businesses should create the conditions for launching, growing and innovating and compete on an equal footing, and digital technologies should help to achieve climate neutrality in the environment.
Five investment priorities

Regional development and cohesion after the year 2020 are focused on the five investment priorities in which the European Union will achieve the best results. Thus, EU investment in the period from 2021 to 2027 will be focused on five main goals:
• a smarter Europe - focusing on innovation, digitalisation, economic transformation and support for small and medium-sized enterprises
• a greener, carbon-free Europe - implementing the Paris Agreement and investing in energy transition, renewable energy and the fight against climate change
• a more connected Europe - equipped with strategic transport and digital networks
• a more social Europe - by implementing the European Pillar of Social Rights and supporting quality employment, education, skills acquisition, social inclusion and equal access to health care
• A Europe closer to its citizens - by supporting locally guided strategies and sustainable urban development throughout the European Union.
New financial framework

The new financial framework is a combination of the stability necessary for investment planning and the appropriate level of budgetary flexibility needed to adapt to contingencies.
