Economical Development
Between 1992 and 1996 the process of establishing a bakery in the village of Selimbar was carried out from scratch to operational. This private initiative was a good example of entrepreneurship and cooperation between citizens, local government and other institutions involved on both the Romanian and Dutch side. In that period of time many difficulties were faced.
In the period 2002-2005 the Municipality of Deventer and its partners carried out GST-programs approved by the VNG (Dutch Union of Municipalities) regarding the interregional cooperation with the County of Sibiu, City of Sibiu and part of the surrounding towns and villages. The focus was on strengthening the local economy and citizens participation of the rural area, especially agro-tourism, agriculture, sheep breeding and small scale businesses. The Municipality of Overbetuwe and its partners carried out a GST-program approved by the VNG regarding agro-tourism in the rural municipalities of Rasinari, Tilisca and Saliste. Both Dutch municipalities and their partners were also involved in two VNG/GST-programs regarding social services, transparency and integrity with partners in the same regions. Both municipalties and their partners worked close together through knowledge exchanges, linked to practical applications through (pilot) projects. This way, small-scale initiatives of citizens, farmers, community organizations and small scale business companies were implemented - with the support of Dutch funds from the Deventer and Overbetuwe regions - in order to strengthen the local economy of the rural area.
