PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
PARTICIPATORY URBAN AND PERI-URBAN AGRICULTURE (UPA) AS A METHOD TO IMPROVE PUBLIC INSTITUTIONAL CAPACITIES
In recent times, the main needs and challenges related to governance systems within the Danube region can be associated with decreasing public institutional capacities to incorporate participatory approach into decision-making processes. The AgriGo4Cities project aims to develop innovative methodology of participatory planning and integrate it into decision-making processes. The methodology will improve capacities of public administrators to involve relevant stakeholders and civil society into governance and public participation. Intensified cooperation will boost mutual trust and stimulate strengthened socio-economic inclusion of vulnerable/marginalized groups. The reduction of social and economic inequalities will lead to more sustainable development of disadvantaged neighbourhoods.
