| Description: |
The main problem defined in the background is the lack of capacity for municipalities. The project includes capacity building activities for top-level managers and staff of municipalities. There are information seminars for mayors and municipalities’ managers. For the staff of these municipalities from Bulgaria and Turkey, there are common training programs to develop their strategic planning skills. The trainers are promoting common working groups in order to increase the cooperation between staffs of these municipalities. Discussion groups are established during the Mayors’ information seminars which they debate on the strategic common priorities of the region. A conference is organized with participation of representatives of municipalities to discuss the strategic priorities of the border region related the municipalities such as environment, development, and etc. Experts from Bulgaria, Turkey and EU share their experiences and exchange information with the project participants. |
