Local authorities nowadays have the difficult role to deliver solutions for their communities with limited resources (human and financial) in a complex society (economic and social challenges, environmental issues, radical changes in jobs and economy). Together, local authorities and civil society can identify better solutions for their common living, thanks to participatory democracy.
The project addresses Ukraine and Moldova, working with the support of the Local Democracy Agencies in these countries, and their local and international partners, the project will empower the capacities of local authorities (elected leaders and civil servants) and civil society in implementing participative processes. Together they will identify concrete problems of the community that will find their solutions thanks to the participative approach.
Objectives
- Assessing the local governance capacities/failures of the cities engaged and creating an identified list of needs to be addressed in terms of local governance
- Empower local authorities and civil society the capacities to address local problems with participative approaches and therefore identifying more sustainable, fair and inclusive solutions
- Identifying joint solutions for environmental challenges (waste management, waste plants, recycling and circular economy), awareness of citizens on environmental issues and raising their responsibility
solutions for critical neighborhoods with security issues and difficult integration of various communities
- Supporting social integration and involvement of more disadvantaged groups of people (unemployed youth, people with disabilities, etc.)
- Creating permanent and solid links between local authorities and civil society in the communities/cities of the project
- Creating long lasting links between communities and cities in Ukraine and Moldova and European partners following the lines of decentralized cooperation
