Relevance for provincial associations

The provisional resolution allows women’s associations and social entities of the province to know in advance the fate of their projects, mostly oriented towards cultural, training and equality promotion activities in rural areas. The allocation of 100,000 euros confirms the support of the Provincial Council for the women’s associative fabric, although it will be the final resolution, after the allegations procedure, that establishes the final list of beneficiary entities.
