Summary: | For the 2014-2020 programming period,
the Government of Romania (GoR) is considering a new
approach proposed by the European Commission (EC) -
Community-Led Local Development (CLLD). CLLD comes with a
unique set of challenges. These include making sure that the
process is truly inclusive, community-led, transparent, and
focused on peer-to-peer learning across communities and
other stakeholders. The GoR should carefully weigh potential
benefits and risks of applying the CLLD approach and put in
place an adequate implementation framework with sufficient
risk mitigating measures before pursuing CLLD. The World
Bank undertook this advisory activity to help the GoR put in
place an implementation framework for CLLD in Romania,
should it want to go ahead with this approach. It includes a
proposed definition of urban marginalized communities, the
population group that the GoR wants to target by CLLD. The
definition is based on a review of the Romanian literature
on (urban) marginalization and on qualitative research in
ten cities. It also includes guidelines for CLLD
implementation based on EC guidance, extensive field work,
and an assessment of lessons learned of similar programs in
Romania and elsewhere. Moreover, detailed maps of urban
marginalized areas across Romania are presented. These are
based on a set of indicators, for which data are available
in the 2011 Population and Housing Census dataset. Six
conceptual pilots have been prepared that are based on
simulated CLLD processes and can serve as examples for
municipalities/NGOs that could be applying for EU funding
through the CLLD approach, during the 2014-2020 programming
period. This extensive summary brochure presents a synopsis
of all findings and messages across the outputs produced
under this activity. |
