Anti-desertification programme for the Algarve |
|
The
Programme for Economic Valuation of Endogenous Resources (PROVERE) is
an attempt to prevent the desertification of natural and cultural
resources within the least populated regions of the Algarve. An
open public session was held to present the programme, which will use
community funds for public/private partnerships to create projects of
interest for these less populated regions.
These projects are open to tender until July 11th, and hope to boost local population by creating more tourist interest.
The areas included in the projects are the surrounding areas of the Guadiana River, the Algarvean West Coast, the Arade River and the Algarvean mountain range. PROVERE seeks to give continuation to the Revitalization of Villages Programme that was promoted by PROAlgarve between 2000-2006. According to the rules, the maximum investment for a project to be elected is of €50,000, and the co-financing fare of councils is of 65%. |
