Pnrr funds at risk in Sardinia due to project delays.

"A month ago in the Chamber we parted with the commitment to build a common strategy in order not to risk losing the train of the Pnrr and a Recovery Plan linked to insularity, to make up for lost time and to restart from an abandoned territorial program . Well, since then everything has still stopped ». Cesare Moriconi, regional councilor of the Democratic Party, raises the alarm. And with him in recent days Crenos and the representatives of local authorities who are part of the control room on community funds have done so.

Resources

From 2021 to 2027 the island will have around 8.7 billion euros available, from the NRP, the complementary fund, the ERDF, the ESF Plus, the Just Transition Fund, the "green transition", and for the latter, the the share assigned to Italy - of just over one billion euros - will be used for the rehabilitation of the former Ilva in Taranto and the redevelopment of Sulcis Iglesiente.

The skills

The problem of the lack of design professionals was also highlighted in the latest Crenos report. "The public administrations of the South have less competent and older workers: the concern is that this gap translates into a different ability to design, manage and implement the investment plans envisaged by the Pnrr", underline the economists of the Universities of Cagliari and Sassari. . The Sardinia Region has recruited 37 figures and the danger is that they will actually be allocated to clear up the backlog. While the Region should have a decisive role in supporting the planning capacity of local administrations ". Again: "Another criticality lies in the fragmentation of the initiatives, the individual municipalities flee forward trying to intercept the notices, when instead a regional coordination would be needed".
