Dear ALL,

The following request for clarification was received by this office.

CLARIFICATION NO. 5 Request for Clarification:

As I have informed you, it is impossible to construct an additional floor over the Council premises with a budget of €50,000. In this respect, the Council is seeking to obtain other funds from the Development Planning Fund of the Planning Authority. In fact the Council already has a confirmation from the PA that funds are available for the completion of this project.

Would you kindly confirm whether this mechanism can be applied, whereby additional funds from other sources could be used in order to finalize the project?

Reply from the SGSO:

Please note that as long as all the results and indicators included in the project proposal are achieved by the Local Council within the 1 year period as from the signing of the Grant Agreement between the Small Grant Scheme Operator and the Local Council, nothing precludes the Local Council to seek additional funding sources to reach its targets. Keeping in mind that no double funding is acceptable in principle. The Local Council is to present approvals and/or available documentation confirming the additional funding source/s to complete the project together with the application.

Kind regards,
