Governance Enhancement for Cohesive Societies

Programme 2021 - 2027 Interreg VI-B Central Europe

Date of latest update: 2023-10-13

Description

Description (EN):

Multi-level governance processes are widely related to the challenge of combating unequal opportunities for people to take part in society and GEtCoheSive addresses this challenge. Governance in fact cannot be reduced to neutral technical mechanisms (relations among departments and offices), but it is a value loaded process with direct influence on the access and use of public services. It displays a vertical dimension (relations between different levels of government) and horizontal dimension (private-public relations, including citizens-public authorities relations).Project addresses the horizontal dimension and aims at improving participatory governance in 4 cities in Italy, Austria, Slovenia and Germany. We expect to increase the capacity of public authorities to engage citizens with a vulnerable background and to improve the co-planning between Public Authorities and Third Sector Organisations in access to services and environmental issues. This result improves the quality of policies and makes societies more equal and cohesive. Innovation lies in testing participatory and deliberative strategies primarily on vulnerable groups and in relation to crucial policy fields selected: access to care services and environmental policies. Outputs are: 4 pilots for testing participatory practices of governance and 4 related solutions; it also develops 2 transnational strategy and action plan.Beneficiaries are public authorities, gaining more skills and trust from citizens, and citizens who raise awareness on policy making and skills for being protagonists. Implementation approach: map of existing governance systems; exchanges of good practices of participatory approaches; piloting of participatory and deliberative processes; networking activity with public and private relevant actors to reach shared strategies. Transnational cooperation allows a wider vision of common problems and solutions and enriches the design of innovation in testing participatory governance models.

Expected Achievements (EN):

Developing and piloting strategies for engaging vulnerable groups and relevant stakeholders in territorial governance in relation to access to public services and environmental challenges. Develop practice-oriented tools to improve the involvement of vulnerable groups and a more effective co-design with third sector organizations (TSOs) to avoid exclusionary mechanisms and tokenism in participatory processes Establishing targeted strategy for achieving a participatory decision-making process that engage vulnerable groups and Third Sector Organizations and translating it into a specific and detailed action plan agreed with policy makers to be taken up.

Contribution to wider strategies and policies:

EuropeanGreenDeal GEtCoheSive can have a specific impact in the Action “Climate” of the EU Green Deal. The European Green Deal aims to make Europe climate neutral by 2050 and to realize it, the involvement of the entire community is necessary. GEtCoheSive provides local and regional authorities the tools and the resources to implement participatory and deliberative methods, necessary to find solutions with and for the community which could contribute to the achievement of the goal
TerritorialAgenda2030 The general objective of GEtCoheSive concerns improving local governance through the co-designing and implementation of participatory decision-making. This approach can inform the priorities “Balanced Europe”; “Functional Regions”, “Integration beyond borders” and “Healthy environments” of Agenda 2030, since an involvement of the whole community can improve local governance processes and structures for increasing social cohesion, equal opportunities and sustainable future for all places. Moreover, Territorial Agenda 2030 emphasises the quality of government and governance (p.7-8) in mitigating inequalities and it stresses that a continuous capacity building at all levels is particularly important to enhance participatory implementation of integrated place-based strategies: GEt COheSive builds on this argument and it want to contribute to it by the development of concrete tools for enanching governance and the definition of a transnational strategy which engage the territories involved in the project
EUStrategyDanubeRegion The action 1 of Priority area 10 of EUSDR aims at improving institutional capacities in order to provide high-quality public services, while action 7 at strengthening the involvement of civil society and local actors in the Danube Region.
GEtCoheSive can contribute to the development of these actions sharing the tools that will be elaborated with its deliberative and participatory approach
EUStrategyAdriaticIonianRegion GEtCoheSive could contribute to the development of the Pillar 3 of EUSAIR, which concerns the Environmental quality.
One of the policy fields tackled by GEtCoheSive concerns the social implications of environmental policies. The deliberative and participatory processes of the project aims to avoid that especially vulnerable communities are left behind.
In this sense GEtCoheSive can suggest solutions to EUSAIR to involve the whole population in finding shared paths and effective commitment for enhancing environmental quality
EUStrategyBalticSeaRegion One of the areas covered by the Policy Area Education (PA EDU) of EUSBSR is integration of migrants. GEtCoheSive aims at increasing the capacity of public authorities to engage citizens with a vulnerable background, including migrants. In this sense, results could have a substantial impact on the PA EDU of EUSBSR, in order to provide insights and tools to foster the integration of migrants.
EUStrategyAlpineRegion GEtCoheSive’s goal of enabling citizens’ engagement in codesigning public services can provide important insights to the EUSALP’s cross-cutting policy area “Governance, including Institutional Capacity” and to the 3rd Thematic Policy Area: Environment and Energy. Moreover, EUSALP could get inspired from the methodologies developed in GEtCoheSIve related to the enhancement of participatory and deliberative democracy in fields, which rarely have benefited by this approach
