Tilskudd til konfliktforebyggende tiltak

This grant program provides funding for conflict prevention measures between reindeer husbandry and other affected parties, including agriculture, landowners, and municipalities. The program supports initiatives that reduce conflicts through physical infrastructure and other conflict-reducing measures. Eligible activities include building fences to protect cultivated land, cultural pastures, plantations, and residential areas from reindeer grazing. Under special circumstances, funding may be provided for other conflict-reducing measures, including helicopter use if desired by reindeer herders. The affected parties must mutually agree on the proposed measures, and costs are typically shared equally between the parties. The grant can cover up to 90 percent of approved cost estimates for projects exceeding 5,000 Norwegian kroner. Projects must comply with applicable laws and regulations, and for fence projects, maintenance obligations apply to ensure protected areas continue to be used for agricultural purposes.
