Among these, the IPA South Adriatic Program – declared the regional councilor for Territorial Cooperation and Economic Development Andrea Di Lucente – allows us to experiment with initiatives and projects on topics closely related to the characteristics of our territory. The Call which will soon be presented in Molise will allow interested parties to compete on challenging issues and make use of qualified partnerships.
