| Comments | The Supreme Audit Office has examined state budget aid intended for the demolition of buildings in socially excluded areas. Within a special sub-programme, the Ministry of Regional Development (MoRD) allocated CZK 100 million to be spent on demolitions annually in the period 2016-2021. The SAO has examined a total of 23 demolitions amounting to over CZK 46 million. The audit revealed that the aid helped municipalities to get rid of unnecessary buildings and to revitalise the sites. However, the benefits of state aid in dealing with socially excluded areas were minor, moreover, the MoRD did not monitor the effects of the aid it had provided. In addition, aid allocated for demolitions was not linked to other measures of the Czech state dealing with socially excluded areas. Only a small number of municipalities had shown an interest in financial aid for demolitions. |
