Subsidies are an important instrument for a municipal organization to achieve societal goals. Municipal ambitions, the need for financial steering, and demands for transparency, accountability, and legality have increased. The existing subsidy framework does not adequately align with these developments.
Work is underway on a new General Subsidy Ordinance (ASV) that offers a renewed framework for subsidy provision, allowing for more customization, clear policy considerations, and better alignment between societal goals, available resources, and administrative priorities. With the introduction of the new ASV, there is a need for a more coherent and organization-wide setup of the subsidy domain.
This requires further development of the subsidy scheme, the establishment of financial and policy frameworks, and a uniform working method. The subsidy coordinator will be tasked with leading the process of outgoing subsidies across the organization and further professionalizing the subsidy process. The specialized departments remain responsible for content assessment, subsidy granting, and relationship management.
The subsidy coordinator is the process owner for the organization-wide subsidy process and ensures direction, quality, and continuous development. The role is not responsible for individual subsidies and does not take over content assessment.
