SANTA CRUZ DE TENERIFE, March 5. (EUROPE PRESS) –
The Cabildo de La Gomera has approved the new Strategic Plan for Subsidies 2022-2024, which includes all the lines of cooperation that the island Institution launches annually to cover projects linked to entities, associations and groups, as well as the incentives aimed at the rest of the island’s socioeconomic sectors.
The president of the Cabildo, Casimiro Curbelo, explained that this plan continues the one approved in 2019 with the purpose of coordinating and establishing new support mechanisms for the development of activities of public utility and social interest. “We are not only dealing with the subsidies received by the groups, but this document integrates such outstanding support tools as scholarships, incentives for companies and the self-employed, or new aid for the promotion of electric vehicles”, he added.
Likewise, he valued the commitment to the application of the nine strategic objectives that have a global appropriation of 6.8 million euros to attend to initiatives in the social, cultural, educational, sports, rural and business development of La Gomera, ” becoming an instrument for the management and cohesion of subsidies linked to the principles of transparency and efficiency”.
As for the lines of action, they focus on educational, academic and professional training; the promotion of cultural entities for the development and promotion of programs and activities; the promotion of sports entities and associations linked to social welfare. Similarly, it includes the revitalization of business initiatives, modernization and competitiveness.
Curbelo emphasized the inclusion of incentives in terms of sustainability, with the provision of a package of measures aimed at improving energy efficiency in homes, businesses and, as a novelty, the granting of aid for the purchase of electric vehicles and the installation of charging points.
“These are areas in which we have been working to address, specifically, the energy transformation of the island, hence the usefulness of this support being included in the plan, since it endorses the willingness of the Corporation to strengthen this aid and contribute to one of the challenges of the 2030 Agenda,” he asserted.
The Plan will be in force until December 31, 2024, and can be updated annually, always before April 30 of the exercises of 2023 and 2024, taking into account the provisions of the budgets of the Island Institution.
