2007-2013 Programmes : Community Planning Partnerships (CPP)
In Lowlands and Uplands Scotland funding will be made available to support a selection of Community Planning Partnerships (CPPs) in implementing integrated social inclusion and regeneration action plans.
The funding has come from the allocations of:
- Priority 1 - Progressing into Employment of the ESF Programme
- Priority 3 - Urban Regeneration of the ERDF Priogramme
The successful CPPs have aligned their applications to their Community Plan objectives and Regeneration Outcome Agreements (ROAs), outlining how the additional activity that ESF Priority 1 and ERDF Priority 3 funding will enhance delivery of their ROA objectives.
The funding will support a number of projects set out in the plans and will complement the key role of the CPPs in delivering social inclusion and regeneration goals at a local level. Therefore CPPs will aim to target these funds at the most deprived communities within their areas.
For Lowlands and Uplands Scotland, eligible CPPs are based in the areas on the list of eligible areas for ERDF Priority 3 and ESF Priority 1. The activities cover the same as those listed under the eligible activities for the relevant priorities within all Programmes.

Further funding opportunities
For those organisations already taking part in CPP applications, opportunities for funding of future projects remains available under the two Priorities of the Challenge Fund. However, the same activity supported by the CPP bids cannot appear within a separate future application. CPPs can also apply for Challenge Funding for complementary activities under other priorities in the Programmes.
