Eastern Partnership, Russia & Central Asia

Okvir

Under ALDA’s umbrella, local and regional authorities and Local Democracy Agencies from the Eastern Partnership countries find favorable conditions to work together and in partnership with other European regions, municipalities and Civil Society Organisations to support the improvement of the social and economic situation in local communities, especially rural areas, and make them more inclusive, fair and sustainable places to live in.

Indeed, a properly developed participatory democracy definitely enhances standards of living and plays a key role in achieving the Sustainable Development Goals.

Additionally, Eastern Partnership countries have a pool of best practices and opportunities for valuable exchanges on participatory tools and local management for local authorities, representing a valuable and mutual added value in the international decentralised cooperation field.
