Visit Alto Tâmega e Barroso

The Territory of Alto Tâmega e Barroso received more than 47 million euros through the Pact for Development and Territorial Cohesion (PDCT), under the scope of Portugal 2020, managed and monitored by the Intermunicipal Community of Alto Tâmega e Barroso (CIMAT), through the contract of delegation of competences signed between the Management Authority of the Regional Operational Programme of the North and the Intermediate Body of CIMAT. In addition, the municipalities of this region have channelled more European Structural and Investment Funds (ESIF) through their commitment frameworks PARU, PAMUS, PAICD and PROVERE.

The ESIF play a crucial role in the development of the territories, and Portugal is in seventh position among the Member States that most benefits from European funds. However, there is still a great lack of knowledge by citizens of the European Union’s regional policy.

In order to counter this trend, and because a better applicability of the ESIF is also made through its promotion, making the supported projects known, making their results more visible in the territory and better informing the respective populations and companies, CIMAT submitted an application to the Notice No. 1/POAT/2022 – Means and actions for the dissemination of projects and investments made with the support of ESIF – Portugal 2020.

This candidature aimed to give fulfilment to the purpose previously mentioned through the development of six videos, one for each municipality of Alto Tâmega e Barroso, where in each one of them were identified a private work and a public work more representative, registering still the testimonies of the six mayors and six representatives of successful companies which captured significant financial supports for the region in several sectors, such as granite, distribution, hotel business, restoration, among others.

In these videos you may know better the added value that the European support brought to these public projects and how it contributed for the development of the municipalities of Alto Tâmega e Barroso, through the testimony of the respective Mayors, and, in the case of the private projects which were supported in the scope of SI2E and PAPN, the importance that this sum had in the concretization of the necessary investments to the modernization of the companies.

Thus, through these short videos, it is possible not only to make known in a more intense way the work developed so far, through the dissemination of the results achieved and thus contribute to a positive perception of the use of the ESIF in the region, but also to inspire all actors in this territory to submit valuable applications to Portugal 2020 or the next OP 2030 capable of improving growth and employment, as well as the quality of life of the population of the region.
