Planning & Priorities Coordination Division (PPCD) employee Karl Vassallo announced that he has been promoted to Senior Manager EU Funds.

Set up in March 2001, the PPCD is part of the administrative infrastructure required to manage the pre and post accession funds allocation to Malta by the EU.

The organisation also aims to ensure the efficient absorption and management of European assistance, particularly in relation to Cohesion Policy, through effective coordination across government departments, authorities, agencies, and other stakeholders.

Mr Vasssallo joined the organisation back in 2017 as Programme Manager EU Funds. In said role, his responsibilities included coordinating projects, implementing funds, and supervising and inputting data.

Before joining the PPCD, he served as Food Merchandise Manager, Merchandiser, and Full-Time Manager at Retail International Group.
