Within the project "Sustainable Local Development through Dialogue and Commitment" we are organizing 3 workshops that will bring together local stakeholders with the aim of developing a functional consultation mechanism.
The workshops will be organized in such a way as to consult representatives of the Municipality of Aiud, local non-governmental organizations, and social partners. Thus, the first meeting will bring representatives from relevant departments of the Municipality of Aiud to the discussion table, the second meeting will gather representatives of local non-governmental organizations, and the third workshop will be organized in a mixed format, involving both NGOs and members of local social partners.
The first workshop of this kind will take place on January 30, 2023, and experts from Transparency International Romania will present the primary documents elaborated regarding the local consultation mechanism, including the mechanism design document, the proposed working procedure for the Advisory Group for Local Development, etc. The workshops will be held at the headquarters of the Municipality of Aiud.
