Aim of the project

The principal objective of the project is to initiate the development and implementation of a sustainable regional / rural development plan of the selected small Romanian municipality in the Carpathians.

In other words this project aims:

  • to assist in the design and implementation of a regional / rural development plan while aiming at sustainability
  • to utilize local resources for the locals' benefits
  • to save and maintain the existing traditional organic cultures
  • to promote the principle of co-existence with nature in rural areas

When developing the plan, national and international environmental and development commitments and guidelines (EU enlargement requirements, Carpathian Convention, Convention on Biological Diversity) were taken into account.

The selected local municipality has the opportunity to get acquainted with similar initiatives both in the “old” and “new” EU member states.
