The National Monitoring Commission for the Recovery and Resilience Plan (CNA-PRR) considers that 39% of the investments and measures planned in the program are in a “worrying” or “critical” state, according to the report released on Wednesday.
“The overall assessment reveals that, Of the 103 investments/measures/sub-measures analyzed, they are evaluated as “Aligned with planning” (33%), “Follow-up required” (24%), “Worrying” (30%) and “Critical” (9%) “indicates the fourth monitoring report on the progress of the implementation of the PRR.
5% of the investments have already been completed, which is the first time that measures in this regard have been included in one of the commission’s reports.
It should be noted that for this report, data were considered from November 2023 to the end of June 2024, a period that was marked by the change of government, with legislative elections on March 10 and the inauguration of the XXIV Constitution on March 2. April.
