The Cel Coördinatie Vlaamse Rand (Vlaamse Rand Coordination Unit) is part of the Flemish administration and comes under the Departments of General Government Policy.
The unit formulates proposals for integrated policy in the Vlaamse Rand. It also initiates, coordinates, follows up and evaluates initiatives in the Vlaamse Rand. It also follows up the regulations and legislation. It informs and increases awareness and establishes joint ventures with vzw ‘de Rand’ and the Province of Vlaams-Brabant.
It administers among other things the subsidies the Flemish authorities grant to initiatives and clubs that endorse or enhance the Flemish character of the Vlaamse Rand or encourage the integration of non-Dutch speakers.
The unit provides administrative and policy support to Vzw de Rand, an External Independent Agency, acts as a secretariat for the Vlaamse Rand taskforce, provides for the financial and editorial underpinning of the Randkrant and sets up joint ventures with the regional TV channel, RingTV. |
