1.6 Frequency of the call for projects
Some calls for projects remain open throughout the LEADER programme. Others, on the other hand, set a relatively short deadline for submitting proposals; in some cases, new calls for projects are launched at regular intervals. The table below gives certain points for thought when deciding upon which frequency to use for calls for proposals.
|
FREQUENCY OF THE CALL FOR PROJECTS
|
|
Call for projects
|
one call alone at the beginning of the programme
|
invitations to tender open throughout the programme or once a year
|
|
Advantages
|
- rapid implementation
- strong one-off mobilisation
|
- allows more flexibility
- leaves time for unprepared actors to acquire the means to do so
|
|
Disadvantages
|
- leaves little time for project leaders to prepare their offer
|
- the mobilisation effect can weaken over time
|
|
Aim
|
- calls targeted at specific socio-professional groups
- to limit the number of project leaders (when funds are limited, for example)
- to carry out the action within a specific repayment schedule
|
- to provoke a demonstrative effect among the population and give rise to new proposals
- to implement actions which are an extension of others.
