DLA project |
PRESENTATION |
It is a pleasure for this partnership, leaded by CCDR-N, to present you DLA project and this first issue of its newsletter.
DLA project is an INTERREG IV C project aimed to improve regional policies in the fields of Digital Local Agenda in order to develop new activities related to the application of the Information and Communication Technologies to public services. |
| |
|
A Digital Local Agenda (DLA) is a common strategy shared with citizens, for the development of the Information Society which bears in mind socio-economic, cultural and institutional factors. Digital divide in Europe is a reality, and the economic and social development of European regions is largely conditioned by the degree of implementation of the Information Society. In the case of public administrations, the adoption of Information and Communication Technologies tools in day-to-day practices brings immediate improvements: more efficiency, more productivity and better services for citizens and businesses. However, the extent to which the Information and Communication Technologies are developed in public authorities across Europe in general and in the project partners in particular varies from one region to another. |

DLA project is implemented through the second call for proposals of INTERREG IV C Programme and will be developed from January 2010 to December 2012. It involves 11 partners from 9 countries across Europe: Estonia, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Italy, Ireland, Latvia, Portugal and Spain). The INTERREG IV C Programme will contribute for near 80% of the total budget, 4,491,456 euros. |

To reach its objectives, the project fosters a permanent exchange of experience among partners. It also establishes a cooperation network to update and improve knowledge on the information society and its applications in public administrations’ services. As specific objectives, the project seeks to:
- Design a general DLA transferable to every Region,
- Elaborate a Common Methodology to adapt the general DLA to every particular local situation,
- Involve all key stakeholders in the project and in the process of building a DLA,
- Exchange experience,
- State the basis for future collaboration.

The project is structured in different components including management, communication and Exchange of experiences.
