Aspecte privind strategiile de dezvoltare locală

Abstract

In view of Romania’s integration into the European Union structures, it is necessary to establish a coherent development strategy so that all the administrative territorial units both the more and the less developed are able to receive substantial funding so that the investment effort in the field should achieve the projected efficiency and match that of other EU local communities. Local development strategies consist of at least seven features that local managers with duties in the field should be familiar with: vision for the future, creativity, flexibility, action, creation for action, focus on change, focus on sustainable returns. The local development strategy is both a planning process and a product that promotes partnership among the various local stakeholders: 1. local government; 2. local community; 3. private sector; 4. representatives of the civil society. The aim of this partnership is to enable a common analysis of issues related to development, future vision/future projections, resource mobilization, the preparation of development strategies and projects, as well as their implementation, monitoring and evaluation. Any local strategy includes an preliminary phase which consists of the assessment and analysis of the key indicators in the community where the development strategy is implemented.
