Ensuring good qualitative and quantitative status of water bodies is a key environmental objective across the EU. To support this goal, national environmental agencies provide funding to municipalities for projects aimed at improving the ecological status of streams and targeted lakes in alignment with the Water Framework Directive. Managing these grants efficiently while ensuring compliance with regulatory requirements presents a significant administrative challenge.
To address this, a digital grant management solution is needed, streamlining the application, screening, and approval process through a self-service portal. Applications should be evaluated based on eligibility criteria and cost-effectiveness, ensuring that funding is allocated to the most impactful projects. This system standardizes case management across different grant schemes, allowing for both agile grant administration and secure, accountable processes.
