More European funding for international municipal cooperation 28-11-2005 The European Commission intends to launch a new development programme for the
2007-2013 period in which non-state actors like local authorities will be able
to participate. The programme, called "Support to non-state actors in
development", will follow on from two other programmes, one with a budget of
€200 million exclusively for large non-governmental organisations and one of €6
million for small NGOs and local authorities.
If the proposals for the new programme get the go-ahead, it will represent an
important victory for the lobby of local authority representatives in Europe and
in developing countries. They are explicitly mentioned in addition to the
non-governmental organisations. Over the coming months the stakeholders will be
consulted about the details of the programme.
