SCOs and FNLTC in practice in the IPA countries

Simplified Cost Options (SCOs) and Financing Not Linked to Costs (FNLTC) are means to simplify the implementation of European Structural and Investment Funds (ESIF) and can contribute to a significant reduction of administrative costs. To promote these solutions in IPA (Instrument for Pre-Accession Assistance) countries DG Regio has commissioned a contract to Spatial Foresight. The study facilitates the development and use of SCOs and FNLTC schemes in these countries and helps establishing a transnational network of (Interreg) IPA III SCOs/FNLTC practitioners. It is conducted jointly with t33.
