The Bertelsmann Foundation and the World Bank have jointly initiated and established a network of selected municipal authorities to support policy and administration reform in Central and Eastern European EU accession countries. This network is designed to foster a constructive, informal, cross-border dialogue between local governments from five Central and Eastern European countries on key topics of organisational, political, social and economic reform. The joint establishment of this unique network is designed to tackle change from the local government perspective.

This projectsite provides you with detailed project information. In addition, you have free access to a wide range of the so-called "knowledge products," which are the results of the network activities.

Project duration: April 1, 2003, to Junel 30, 2004
