WTD is based on ALDA’s long term vision of development and the method of multilateral decentralized cooperation.
The project uses a multi-stakeholder approach and focuses on creating strong partnerships between Local Authorities and NGOs. It is extremely important to support these actors, in order to ensure their ownership of the development strategies and to favor their full involvement in the policy making process, enhancing their capacities to act as development agents in and outside Europe. Local Authorities and NGOs have extensive knowledge of their local communities, and their joint activities and cooperation play an important role in the field of development!
