Activity under preparation Ecological transition towards sustainable municipalities in Cuba The action takes place in Cuba and aims at supporting the ecological transition of 8 municipalities with a special focus on the food-energy-water nexus and with a clear vision of sustainability linked to economic, environmental, social and generational dimensions. The Action will focus on production, management of and access to healthy food, renewable energy, safe water and waste management services through the lens of sustainability. It will do so by promoting circular economy, agroecology and clean energy, and by supporting innovation, which, in turn, will result in increased adaptation to climate change, mitigation of its effects and conservation of biodiversity. Gradual improvements of people´s living conditions, food, energy and water security, are expected as results. It is also expected that this will lead to sustainable and resilient local food, energy and water systems, which include effective supply and services with reduced ecological footprint. In doing so it will contribute to national plans and strategies to combat climate change, specifically Cuba¿s latest NDC, disaster risk reduction and natural resources protection. The proposed Action is fully in line with the MIP Priority area 1 ¿ Ecological transition, and its four Specific Objectives. It contributes to the Cuban TEI on Ecological Transition, which is also related to the Global Gateway¿s priorities on Climate and Energy, and Education and Research. Also, the Action is in line with National Programme for the Advancement of Women, among other Cuban strategies and gender sector plans, and will contribute to the GAP III, and its thematic areas ¿Promoting economic and social rights and empowering girls and women¿ and "Addressing the challenges and harnessing the opportunities offered by the green transition and the digital transformation¿. The selected municipalities have already developed municipal development strategies in the framework of the decentralisation process ¿ Decree No 33 for Territorial Development and, in preparation for this programme, set up working groups with capacity to design and manage development projects, and took part in a regional TALD (Territorial Approach to Local Development) workshop which took place in September 2022 in Cuba. Implementation will be delegated to a Member State agency, key actors such as municipal and provincial government authorities, representatives of territorial services, universities and research centres will be part of the governance structure of the Action.

Activity under preparation Support for New Economic Actors ¿ Modernisation of the Economy This action aims to contribute to the well-being of the Cuban people by supporting a dynamic economy and specifically the recently regulated and privately owned MSMEs. The focus will be to foster their innovation, entrepreneurship, management and, where relevant, their access to international markets. Since 2011, Cuba has been developing a series of economic and social transformations to support innovation and revitalise the economy that in the current context of the COVID-19 epidemic and its economic consequences are more relevant than ever. One of the key elements of these changes is a new legal framework for, among others, setting up micro, small and medium-sized enterprises (MSMEs) and local development projects (PDLs) complementing the previously existing self-employed, cooperatives and public enterprises. &nbsp;This action builds on these changes supporting the new economic actors at each stage of their activities and their processes and specifically the newly regulated and privately owned MSMEs as a main dynamic sector of the economy. This includes the early stages of conceptualisation of product, prototyping and innovation at large, as well as the process of drawing up sustainable business plans, turning into formal entities, their registration and tax obligations. In relevant cases this will also include their access to international markets, with an emphasis on links with European, Latin American and Caribbean MSMEs and supported by the development of tools such as foreign trade and foreign investment windows. The action will focus on priority sectors for the country in coherence with the EU-Cuba MIP 2021-2027: sustainable agri-food systems, renewable energy, creative industries, ICTs and biotechnology, while promoting the circular economy and prioritising the leadership of women and young people. &nbsp;This action will be developed in synergy with the other areas of the MIP 2021-2027, in particular the eGovernment and eCommerce programme (Support to the Public Administration - Modernisation of the Economy), for the effectiveness and efficiency of public registries, the cadastre, public procurement, taxation, statistics, and the development of sustainable municipalities.

Support project for the Finlay Institute of Vaccines (FIV) for the production of meningitis vaccines Contract related to: Support project for the Finlay Institute of Vaccines (FIV) for the production of meningitis vaccines  - Until 2020, the Latin America (LAIF) and Caribbean (CIF) Facilities have been operating under different budgetary regimes, LAIF under the Development Cooperation Instrument (DCI) and the CIF under the European Development Fund (EDF). This new Facility, LACIF, follows the strategic logic under the new NDICI to merge different financial instruments under the same umbrella. DCI and EDF converge in the new NDICI and this provides the opportunity to combine the two previous facilities in one, taking advantage of shared structures and stakeholders, minimizing administrative transaction costs and adding flexibility to the process of resource allocation, while catering to the unique opportunities and challenges of the two regions. Moreover, action at regional level is particularly relevant to tackle crucial aspects of infrastructure involving networks (transport, energy, water and digital) and regarding cross-border issues (health security, supply chains, migration, etc.). LACIF will continue to boost access to funds from financial institutions, which are supporting key investments for sustainable inclusive infrastructure development with a focus on climate change, as well as rights and gender responsive private sector development in the region contributing substantially to poverty alleviation throughout the continent.European financial institutions were key partners of LAIF and CIF, an important factor for the success of the Facilities was the participation of the regional Latin American and Caribbean financial institutions, more prominently the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB), the Latin American Development Bank (CAF), the Central American Bank for Economic Integration (CABEI) and the Caribbean Development Bank (CDB), acting as co-lead implementers for many operations. This resulted in a stronger and more strategic partnership between European and Latin American financial institutions.
Industrias Creativas, un aporte a la gesti¿n patrimonial y al desarrollo socioecon¿mico local desde la dinamizaci¿n  cultural de los principales espacios p¿blicos del centro hist¿rico de Camag¿ey OBJETIVO GENERAL: Contribuir a la dinamización de la vida cultural camagüeyana como promotora del desarrollo socio económico local, con la puesta en valor de su patrimonio culturalEl patrimonio cultural es un ente vivo que si se gestiona adecuadamente, involucrando a todos los actores que inciden en él, incluida la población residente, y articulando los factores que pueden afectarlo positiva o negativamente, se puede convertir en un agente que dinamice el desarrollo socio-económico local, sin perder los valores propios y reforzando la identidad.Cuba está actualizando su modelo social y económico hacia un esquema más sostenible donde se promueve la diversificación de las formas de gestión y la articulación público-privada a favor del desarrollo local en cualquier sector de intervención. En esta coyuntura, la experiencia internacional de industrias creativas es una buena alternativa de gestión en zonas urbanas patrimoniales, que reivindica el rol de la cultura como medio de regeneración urbana y agente dinamizador de su desarrollo socio-económico desde lo local.

Activity under preparation Support to the Public Administration for the Modernisation of the Economy Facing the social-economic constraints set out by the COVID-19 crisis, as well as the US economic, trade and financial embargo, the provision of public services in Cuba is currently facing significant challenges. While the use of digital tools to improve the access and quality of public services and the efficiency of the public administration has picked up slowly over the recent years, challenges such as lack of access to digital tools, low technical capacity and insufficient equipment still hold back the impact that new technologies can have on citizens¿ well-being. This action aims to support the digital transition of the Cuban public administration in order to contribute to the modernisation of the economy and to increased inclusion, transparency and civic participation in a sustainable manner. In particular, this action will focus on supporting access to public services, the functioning of public administration, and the public¿s digital skills to ensure an inclusive digital transition. It will strengthen the legal framework for the management, use, access and sharing of data, based on a high level of data protection and privacy respecting the high international standards established, for example, by the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) of the European Union. Based on previous experiences, the action will be demand-driven and implemented in a flexible way responding to the needs of the institutions involved.
