Experiences

• People do not know much about the program, no
  communication campaign
• Original expectations of the Managing Authorities
  have only been partially fulfilled
• It was difficult to match the expectations with
  the real needs of towns, municipalities
• It is difficult to implement such actions where
  disoccupation is high
• Risks of the sustainability of the projects
  without the experts
• Planning flexible work is difficult in todays
  legal framework
