2.2.2. Institutional arrangements: who is running the projects ?

 
   
The diversity of projects is reflected in the multitude of institutional arrangements. There is not THE typical institutional design, but various types:
  • Clear identifiable single ownership of private actor/NGO
  • Public Administration as owner
  • Partnership solution (existing partnership or specific collaboration for the project).

However, in the cases looked at here, there are only few examples of projects where the funding and the future institutional arrangements was clear at the beginning of the project – and this is the green job house in Copenhagen. In Berlin the applicants to the neighbourhood fund have to show how this is going to continue – or who will look after it (if it is a physical project).

In the other cases there seems to be an ongoing discussion during the project phase – of how this will be dealt with. Again there seem to be 3 solutions of how to proceed:

  • Include it in the public sector: Copenhagen , Hamburg , Vilnius , Valetta and some of the Berlin neighbourhood fund projects, Lisbon : transfer to Municipal Agencies
     
  • transfer responsibility to NGOs or private sector (organisations or companies): Berlin , Lisbon , Valetta, Dublin and Glasgow .
     
  • end the project – either because it was a time-limited project (festival or the like in the neighbourhood fund projects from Berlin ) or because it has failed to meet the expectations – or because of lack of funding.
