| Summary: | For the 2014-2020 programming period,
the Government of Romania (GoR) is considering a new
approach presented by the European Commission (EC) -
community-led local development (CLLD). Through CLLD,
empowered communities have the opportunity to directly shape
and own the process of local development, during all stages
of EU - funded interventions, from concept design through
implementation. If Romania ultimately pursues CLLD, the
critical task facing the government is to design an optimal
implementation framework for the new approach - this is
precisely the focus and scope of the current integrated
intervention tool (IIT). The preparation of this IIT
entailed a number of steps, including extensive field work
to define relevant subtypes of urban marginalized
communities and to review past experiences with urban
integration in Romania. This summary covers multiple
sections, in line with the key chapters of the main IIT
report. It first reviews CLLD's main features and best
practice principles at the EU level. It focuses on Romania,
making some recommendations for where CLLD can apply and
what it will require in terms of coordinating different
sources of funding. It also covers the main six stages of
operationalizing CLLD in Romania, as follows: launch:
preparations through capacity building and information
campaigns; call for expressions of interest regarding the
potential submission of local integration strategies (LISs);
mobilization of the community for the establishment of local
action groups (LAG) and development of LIS by each LAG;
selection of strategies to be financed; implementation of
LISs approved for financing, including selection and
implementation of individual projects under these
strategies; and phase-out activities and evaluation. |
