Why?
How can we address the growing mismatch between responsibilities and resources? What makes a successful reform project at the local and regional levels? The Mons Declaration highlights the essential role of cities and regions in Europe's resilience and growth. Similarly, the ComPAct underscores the importance of local and regional administrations in implementing policies and delivering services to citizens. As part of the #EURegionsWeek, we invite practitioners to collaborate on creating a vision for impactful local and regional reform projects.
What?
In this mini conference, we will discuss developing robust institutional reform projects that enhance the quality and resilience of local and regional public administrations. During the three-hour session, we will demonstrate how to define problems, adopt a systemic approach, build partnerships, involve stakeholders, achieve impact, and leverage results. We will share good practice examples and provide hands-on design guidance in an interactive format.
Who?
The event brings together practitioners from the local and regional administrations of all the Member States.
