NORTE 2030

NORTE 2030 — Programa Regional do Norte (the regional programme for the North)
A pot of European money for the districts in the north of the country, from Viana do Castelo and Braga to Porto, Vila Real and Bragança. It is one of the regional programmes within PT2030, the European Union's seven-year package for 2021–2027. It pays for roads, schools, health centres and local social services: the câmaras apply for the money themselves, and the service's web page then shows the EU flag and the words "cofinanciado pela União Europeia".
Where you come across it. The page for a service or a building project on your câmara's website; an announcement of a new local support scheme.
Money from these programmes is allocated for a fixed period and runs out: a service funded by NORTE 2030 lasts only as long as there is a budget for the year — this is usually stated in its rules.
