Local Authorities and the Developing World
In the run-up to European Development Days on 15-17 November (see July Bulletin) the European Commission has
adopted (7 October) a communication calling for increased 'hands on' participation by European local authorities
in the design and implementation of development activities in poorer countries. Such proactive involvement is recognised as delivering proportionally impressive and effective impacts on the ground for a comparatively small financial outlay.
This may open opportunities for more significant local authority engagement in the roll-out of national development
assistance programmes - a trend that has evolved in several EU countries in recent years in recognition of the practical skills possessed at this level. The Commission is proposing the setting up of a structured dialogue firstly among European local authorities through the Committee of the Regions in order to take stock and capitalise on available expertise and to ensure better cooperation efforts and deployment of resources.
