Programme: All

The project covers the municipalities of Kozloduy - 18,546 inhabitants, Mizia - 5,861 inhabitants and Hayredin - 4,049 inhabitants or a total population of 28,456 inhabitants according to the latest data of the NSI. There are a total of 2 cities and 15 villages with a total area of ​​686,252 sq. km as settlements. On the territory of the three municipalities, no Local Development Strategy has been implemented, as well as almost no other initiatives related to local development. All three municipalities are united around the idea of ​​ennobling and developing the territories, to create tools for sustainable local development of people, to preserve traditions and values, to create conditions and prerequisites for progress, growth and innovation that will lead to an increase the well-being of the local population. Last but not least, measure 19.1 "Assistance for preparatory activities" is an excellent opportunity to build local capacity to implement and manage projects under both the RDP and the other ESIFs.
The project will have a duration of six months, due to the previous measure 19.1, implemented in 2010 on the territory of the municipality of Mizia and the municipality of Kozloduy, which, however, was not successful, since the more distant goals were not actually achieved, namely approval and implementation of Local development strategy, which is the real tool for sustainable development.
When the local partnership was established, there was now a lot of interest from the local community, which we consider a very good indicator and a willingness of people to work for a better local society that has its own additional development mechanisms. The project covers all the activities necessary to achieve a good result - publicity, transparency, informing the local community, training of all interested parties, expert work, public discussion, which is key and essential for a successful project based on democratic values, based on principle "from bottom to the top".
