Operation 5.2: Communication, Information and Publicity
Specific objective
To assist the Managing Authority in implementation of OPRD Communication Plan for provision of information and public awareness about the funding opportunities under the programme, the criteria, rules and procedures for participation of the potential beneficiaries in its implementation.
Operation rationale
As requested by the EU Regulations, the MA and the other participants in OPRD implementation will give the most possible comprehensive information on the financing opportunities offered by the programme.
For this reason they have to ensure that the OPRD is published widely with details of the financial contributions from the ERDF and have to provide the potential recipients (i.e. municipalities, non-governmental organisations, etc.) with detailed information on the administrative procedures to be followed for financing under the OPRD, including the description of the procedures for application and evaluation of projects, the criteria for evaluation and selection, the responsible bodies at national, regional or local level for giving more information.
