23 Dec 2022To ask the Scottish Government, further to the answer to question S6W-11897 by Mairi Gougeon on 17 November 2022, (a) how much and (b) what percentage of its overall allocation to the Community Led Local Development Fund has been allocated by Local Action Groups to staffing and resourcing, and (i) how much and (ii) what percentage was allocated to staffing and resourcing by each group.
The answer
For staffing and resourcing, the Scottish Government set a maximum staffing support rate of 15% of their total allocation or £57,143 for individual Local Action Group (LAG) areas. However, LAGs could use their revenue allocation to source additional freelance support from out with their Local Authority where needed.
Area spend is ongoing and until all claims have been processed at the end of the financial year, an accurate figure cannot be given for staffing and resourcing costs.
