Members of the Advisory Committee discussed the context, rationale and main components of the Project.
Partnership for Local Economic Development and Democratic Governance Project (PLEDDG) is a 6 year technical assistance project financed by the Government of Canada. The project aims to strengthen Ukraines municipal sector by increasing capacities of Ukrainian cities to advance local democracy and economic development. We will do this by creating an enabling environment for entrepreneurship and local economic development (LED), by facilitating decentralization of authorities and by supporting integrated development planning at the local, regional and national level. More broadly, we support the empowerment of people and local governments to effect sustainable open government and economic growth.
PLEDDG is implemented by the Federation of Canadian Municipalities (FCM) and funded by Global Affairs Canada.
