Yhteisötukitoimet

Yhteisötukitoimet are measures aimed at supporting communities, often within the framework of European Union funding programs. These actions are designed to foster social cohesion, economic development, and environmental sustainability at a local level. They can encompass a wide range of activities, from job creation initiatives and support for small and medium-sized enterprises to improving infrastructure and promoting cultural exchange. The underlying principle is to empower local actors and stakeholders to identify their specific needs and implement tailored solutions. Yhteisötukitoimet are typically implemented through Local Development Strategies (LDS) or similar participatory planning processes. These strategies are often developed and managed by Local Action Groups (LAGs), which are partnerships of public and private sector actors. The funding for yhteisötukitoimet usually comes from various EU funds, such as the European Agricultural Fund for Rural Development (EAFRD) or the European Social Fund Plus (ESF+). The specific objectives and eligible activities vary depending on the program and the geographical area. The goal is to create vibrant, resilient, and prosperous communities by leveraging local knowledge and resources.
