The project “LADDER – Local Authorities as Drivers for Development Education and Raising awareness” is about to start. The preview event of the 3-year project, led by ALDA together with other 25 partners and 20 associates from the European Union and its Neighborhood, will take place on 21-22 February in Modena, Italy, in the framework of the festival BUK.
Funded by EuropeAid, LADDER aims at raising awareness and strengthening the capacity of associations of local authorities and civil society organizations to act in a sustainable way as drivers for development, fostering their role of multipliers within their countries, communities and networks, to develop a multi-level active engagement in global challenges.
The European Year of Development 2015 is the right time to address these ambitious goals. ALDA together with all the project partners and associates will start this journey with passion and commitment, aware of the relevance of development cooperation and of its future for citizens, local authorities, and organized civil society in the enlarged Europe.
LADDER is the natural follow up of the project Working Together for Development, which focused on information, training, and networking for local authorities associations and networks of civil society organizations in the field of development cooperation. The will of the great majority of WTD partners in continuing the challenge together by setting higher goals cannot but be considered a key result of the project itself.
