The Funds and Programmes Division (FPD) was set up in July 2011 as part of an administrative structure required to handle the management of EU Funds (with the exception of Structural Funds and the Cohesion Fund) and other Funds allocated to Malta and to provide guidance and support to the focal points of the EU and other Programmes that are managed directly by the European Commission or other EU institutions.
European Union fisheries management relies on data collected, managed and supplied by Member States under the Data Collection Framework. Reliable fisheries data are needed to assess the health of fish stocks and the marine environment and to meet the European Union’s objective of ensuring sustainable fisheries by 2020 at the latest.
Migration trends, coupled with challenges that migrants face on their journey and upon arrival, have resulted in relatively high numbers of migrants unable or unwilling to stay in Malta.
RESTART VI is a continuation of five Assisted Voluntary Return and Reintegration (AVRR) projects successfully implemented by IOM Malta in cooperation with the Maltese authorities since 2009.
This operation will initiate the implementation of sustained environmental monitoring in marine waters with the aim to assess the state of Malta’s marine waters on a continuous basis and address current knowledge gaps. It will also contribute to the implementation of Maritime Spatial Planning and the Integrated Maritime Policy through knowledge improvement.
‘CESBA MED Sustainable MED Cities’: Energy efficiency improvement is a key strategy to reduce the environmental impact of public buildings. But usually energy efficiency plans do not fully exploit the potential for synergies that groups of buildings might offer. CESBA MED intends to test 10 different methodologies, tools and indicators developed by previous EU projects and select the most affordable and operational solutions. The UoM will select areas that house a group of public buildings for testing energy efficiency, also with the help of existing data on such buildings. …

AquaCycle aims to address the present situation of water scarcity in the southern Mediterranean region, with a mission to change the present model of wastewater reuse, and of imposing an eco-innovative technology (including anaerobic digestion, constructed wetland, solar treatment). This technology has a low cost of operation and maintenance as it uses less chemicals, runs on renewable energy, produces biogas and fertiliser, and the constructed wetland will thrive as an ecological tourist attraction, aside from being a climate-change mitigation measure.…
ZEROCO2 focuses on the energy performances of buildings; in this regard, it intends to design innovative policies promoting near zero CO2 emission buildings. This project shall also combine different technologies and energy efficiency sources, contributing towards the EU energy efficiency targets. …
This project is being implemented through measure M4.3: Support for investments in infrastructure related to development, modernisation or adaptation of agriculture and forestry.
