Strengthening Local Administration
The Sibiu County Council, the Sibiu Municipality and the Deventer Municipality have been cooperating on multiple themes within their twinning since 1989.
A notable example was the year 2003, when a delegation of thirty members of the Sibiu County Council, Sibiu Municipality Council and five surrounding villages visited Deventer. The most important focus points were creating awareness and knowledge exchange regarding decentralization, the relationship between the province and its municipalities, cooperation with the civil society, transparancy and integrity, neighbourhood management approach and citizen participation. Also, the perspective of entering the EU was discussed. Working visits were organized at the Province of Overijssel, Municipalities of Deventer and Overbetuwe, some companies, Wijkaanpak Deventer and a village near Deventer. The visit ended with a seminar.
In 2006 it was decided, in addition to the current projects, to participate in the LOGO East programme. This programme was made possible by financial aid from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Netherlands and its purpose was to help with twinning relations that worked on strengthening the local government in Eastern Europe. The aim was improving the internal management at the Sibiu Municipality by training the top-management and council, helping them in setting priorities in their daily work and responsibilities and policy documents. The trainings were carried out in 2006 and 2007 in cooperation with a dutch external company, specialized in local administrations.
