Support provided through other national/ regional policies & initiatives

There is no direct support for Smart Villages under other policy areas either, however, there is a number of projects supporting smart and innovative solutions.

 

ThreeT project (1 Jun 2018 to 30 Nov 2022) focused on improving the performance of eight policy instruments to protect and enhance natural and cultural heritage by setting up thematic trails or improving existing ones, making them accessible to all through green modes of transport and readily available information (including smart solution/technology).

The ultimate aim was to maximise the eco-tourism potential of heritage sites by implementing [a bottom-up] Action Plan. Several Maltese local councils [including rural] participated in the project.
