Knowing each other: improving local governance through Community Initiatives
The aim of the project is to make Interreg match its first goals : local development and strengthening of governance. Indeed although various good projects have succeeded on a cross border level for the past ten years, the diversity of forms of administrative and
political organisations in namely Mediterranean context is still an obstacle to cooperation. By harmonizing practices from those different countries but also by fostering partnership between different territorial levels, the project aims at overcoming the obstacle . It is based
on a four-fold programme : transfer of know how, knowing each other, training and exchanges of political decision makers, and communication means.
