Background and purpose of the Grant Sample Clauses

Background and purpose of the Grant. 1.1. Trees are one of the simplest, most cost-effective means of capturing and locking up carbon and have a key role to play in delivering the carbon targets for the land use sector, but current tree planting rates are insufficient to achieve the level of contribution needed from these nature-based solutions. As a result, the Government have committed to increase tree planting across the UK to 30,000 hectares per year by 2025 to contribute towards achieving the UK’s status as carbon Net Zero by 2050. This commitment also provides an opportunity to support nature recovery to help address the biodiversity crisis, with the 25 Year Environment Plan noting that trees are integral to nature recovery at a landscape level. This grant, the England Woodland Creation Offer (EWCO), will support woodland creation to meet these goals and be a key contributor to achieving the target of increasing annual planting rates in England by 2025.

Background and purpose of the Grant. To deliver the Programme, the Authority will provide grant funding to YOTs across England and Wales over three financial years, funding them to intervene earlier and improve outcomes for children on the cusp of entering the Youth Justice System. This additional funding will enable YOTs to consistently support a cohort of children not currently on their statutory caseload. Aims and objectives of the Funded Activities The overall aims of the Programme are to:  Achieve positive outcomes for children with the aim of preventing them going on to offend;  Build on work already done to ensure all children on the cusp of the youth justice system are consistently offered a needs assessment and the opportunity for support;  Improve the socio-emotional, mental health and wellbeing of children; and  Improve the integration and partnership working between YOT and other statutory services to support children. Funded Activities The Programme has been designed to enable YOTs to work flexibly with early help systems and services in their locality. There are however core programme design features, upon which the implementation of localised Programme delivery arrangements must be based. Local YOT Management Boards and their partners may arrange the delivery of services differently, however the following early help principles should be followed in delivering Funded Activities:  One Assessment – a strength-based assessment that considers the needs of the child and their family.  One Plan – a plan with evidence-based interventions, developed with the views of the child and their parents or care givers.  One Lead Practitioner, within or alongside the YOT, is assigned to support the child and is recognised by the family and other professionals involved with the casework. To deliver the Programme the Grant Recipient is required to undertake the following funded activities: Mobilisation Phase - Year 1 (December 2022 up to end March 2023) To enable YOTs to mobilise effectively, the Year 1 grant allocation includes an uplift in grant funding to cover some start-up costs. This funding can be used for the purposes of mobilisation of the Programme and to meet the Forecast Expenditure Activity detailed in Annex 4. Funds allocated for mobilisation should only be spent on these items and should be spent before the end of March 2023. The Grant Recipient should complete the following activities during mobilisation:  Establish referral pathways, including any associated promotional and...

  • BACKGROUND AND INTRODUCTION The Federal-aid Highway Program (FAHP) is a federally-assisted program of State-selected projects. The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) and the State Departments of Transportation have long worked as partners to deliver the FAHP in accordance with Federal requirements. In enacting 23 U.S.C. 106(c), as amended, Congress recognized the need to give the States more authority to carry out project responsibilities traditionally handled by FHWA. Congress also recognized the importance of a risk-based approach to FHWA oversight of the FAHP, establishing requirements in 23 U.S.C. 106(g). This Stewardship and Oversight (S&O) Agreement sets forth the agreement between the FHWA and the State of Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) on the roles and responsibilities of the FHWA and the State DOT with respect to Title 23 project approvals and related responsibilities, and FAHP oversight activities. The scope of FHWA responsibilities, and the legal authority for State DOT assumption of FHWA responsibilities, developed over time. The U.S. Secretary of Transportation delegated responsibility to the Administrator of the FHWA for the FAHP under Title 23 of the United States Code, and associated laws. (49 CFR 1.84 and 1.85) The following legislation further outlines FHWA’s responsibilities: • Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act (ISTEA) of 1991; • Transportation Equity Act for the 21st Century (TEA-21) of 1998; • Safe, Accountable, Flexible, Efficient Transportation Equity Act: A Legacy for Users (SAFETEA-LU) of 2005; and • Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century Act (MAP-21) of 2012 (P.L. 112-141). The FHWA may not assign or delegate its decision-making authority to a State Department of Transportation unless authorized by law. Xxxxxxx 000 xx Xxxxx 00, Xxxxxx Xxxxxx Code (Section 106), authorizes the State to assume specific project approvals. For projects that receive funding under Title 23, U.S.C., and are on the National Highway System (NHS) including projects on the Interstate System, the State may assume the responsibilities of the Secretary of the U.S. Department of Transportation under Title 23 for design, plans, specifications, estimates, contract awards, and inspections with respect to the projects unless the Secretary determines that the assumption is not appropriate. (23 U.S.C. 106(c)(1)) For projects under Title 23, U.S.C. that are not on the NHS, the State shall assume the responsibilities for design, plans, specifications, estimates, contract awards, and inspections unless the State determines that such assumption is not appropriate. (23 U.S.C. 106(c)(2)) For all other project activities which do not fall within the specific project approvals listed in Section 106 or are not otherwise authorized by law, the FHWA may authorize a State DOT to perform work needed to reach the FHWA decision point, or to implement FHWA’s decision. However such decisions themselves are reserved to FHWA. The authority given to the State DOT under Section 106(c)(1) and (2) is limited to specific project approvals listed herein. Nothing listed herein is intended to include assumption of FHWA’s decision-making authority regarding Title 23, U.S.C. eligibility or Federal-aid participation determinations. The FHWA always must make the final eligibility and participation decisions for the Federal-aid Highway Program. Section 106(c)(3) requires FHWA and the State DOT to enter into an agreement relating to the extent to which the State DOT assumes project responsibilities. This Stewardship and Oversight Agreement (S&O Agreement), includes information on specific project approvals and related responsibilities, and provides the requirements for FHWA oversight of the FAHP (Oversight Program), as required by 23 U.S.C. 106(g).
