Citizens engagement Territorial & local development

In order to promote good governance and citizen participation at the local level in Europe and beyond, ALDA supports citizens and groups of citizens in their initiatives aimed at improving their local context, building bridges with local authorities in order to make the change real. In this framework, ALDA works through a participatory approach and the method of multilateral decentralised cooperation, always focusing on strong partnerships between local authorities and civil society organisations.  


ALDA works with and for local resilient communities, to address the future challenges from a democratic, environmental, social and economic point of view

The call for proposals aims at strengthening a worldwide global alliance of local and regional authorities and civil society actors working together in local communities, in order to make them more resilient, socially and economically successful, more inclusive, sustainable and fair.

This call was addressed to ALDA members based in the EU which presented their own projects focused on improving conditions for civic and democratic participation in Europe, supporting an inclusive and people-oriented economic local development all over Europe and promoting a profound sense of “local ownership” and engagement within communities.

These organisations will implement different strategies at local level targeting different vulnerable groups in areas such as: education, citizens engagement, health, climate action, gender equality among others.
