To inaugurate this new series of in-presence events, we are glad to announce that this year ALDA is taking part into the General Assembly of the “International Association of French-speaking Mayors – AIMF“.

The Assembly takes place in Kigali, Rwanda, from July 18th to 22nd and follows an intense and stimulating agenda, animated by special guests and experts from all over the World.
While the Assembly itself is foreseen on Wednesday, the first day of conference is dedicated to the issue of gender equality in relation to family management: a sensitive topic, also related to health care management for young people in the Country and in general to the services offered by the Municipalities.

On Tuesday July 20th, the focus is more linked to ALDA’s core action, with a series of panel discussions on the relation between mayors and citizens and how this dynamic reflects on the urban management of French-speaking cities. In this vein, ALDA Secretary General, Ms Antonella Valmorbida, is taking the floor during the first panel, titled “Local government policies in phase with civil society: models of partnership between the municipality and civil society“.

Nakon slušanja iskustava iz Ruande kroz glasove lokalnih eksperata, gospođa Valmorbida daje pregled participativne demokratije i dinamike učešća građana u Evropi i njenom susedstvu, iz iskustva i najboljih praksi iz bezbrojnih projekata koje je ALDA provodila na ove teme tokom proteklih 20 godina.

U svetlu nedavne, ali izuzetno obećavajuće suradnje s AIMF-om, važno je da ALDA i njena mreža budu uključeni u ovakav događaj i da bolje upoznaju mehanizme koji regulišu funkcionisanje zajednica na različitim mestima. To je presudno za unapređenje rada ALDA-e i razradu još celovitijih modela za podršku lokalnoj demokratiji širom sveta, u skladu s promenjivim kontekstom i potrebama.

Počevši od 2008. godine, a zasnovan na pristupu odozdo prema gore, ideja koja stoji iza Sporazuma gradonačelnika je okupiti hiljade lokalnih realnosti posvećenih pretvaranju evropskog zakonodavstva o klimi i energiji u konkretne akcije, poput cilja smanjenja stakleničkih gasova od 40% u EU do 2030.

Sa više od 10.000 potpisnika i raširen među 53 zemlje, „Sporazum gradonačelnika“ je najveća svetska inicijativa usredsređena na klimatske i energetske akcije.

Poziv za nagrade ‘Grad u središtu pažnje’ je sjajna prilika da se pokaže postignuti napredak i postane referentni primer za celu zajednicu Sporazuma i šire!

Dalje, poziv je otvoren do 16. avgusta 2021., omogućavajući gradovima i gradonačelnicima da podele svoja iskustva, napredak i strategije u pogledu klimatskog i energetskog zakonodavstva.

Konkretno, primenjuju se uslovi - da mogu učestvovati samo potpisnici koji su se obavezali na ciljeve ublažavanja i prilagođavanja do 2030. godine. Ipak, ovo je sjajana prilika da učestvujete ili se pridružite inicijativi i pripremite za sledeći poziv. Što se tiče pobednika, evo odnosa iza:

• 1 potpisnik male veličine (<10 000 stanovnika)
• 1 potpisnik srednje veličine (10.000 - 250.000 stanovnika)
• 1 potpisnik velike veličine (> 250.000 stanovnika)

In order to get ready for the new EU multiannual financial framework (2021-2027) and develop close cooperation with its members, a few months ago ALDA launched a call for proposals addressing its network to collect engaging and innovative project ideas and to offer them free technical assistance in finding the right programmes, drafting and sending the application of the selected projects.

Želimo zahvaliti svim članovima koji su učestvovali s velikim brojem predloga, svi su zanimljivi i na koje ćemo pokušati dati povratne informacije i savete. Sada nam je drago što možemo najaviti da smo odabrali 3 pobednička učesnika i ideje.

Ovo su tri pobednička projekta:

• Marmara Municipalities Union (MMU) – Turska, sa projektom cilja na povećanje svesti opštinskih službenika o SDG okvira (ciljevi održivog razvoja), kao i nadogradnju njihovih veština i doprinos lokalizaciji i realizaciji.
• Foster Evrope – Austrija. Predloženi projekt cilja na izazivanje nacionalnih istorijskih narativa suočavajući se sa kontradiktornim narativima iz susjednih zemalja o istorijskim pitanjima.
• Margherita Società Cooperativa Sociale Onlus – Italija, sa projektom koji nastoji poboljšati mogućnosti za osobe sa invaliditetom da postignu nezavisan život i poboljšanje nivoa socijalne uključenosti i kohezije na nivou zajednice.

S obzirom na uspeh poziva, obećavamo da ćemo ga ponoviti svake godine, dodajući ga u prednosti za članove naše međunarodne mreže. 

Ne propustite sledeći! Ostanite informisani!
