This inaugural seminar aims at making sure that its main objectives are shared by other cities and donors to take stock of the real conditions that had to be met in order to successfully mobilise these key players.
The sub-objectives were:
- To get feedback from the participants on the objectives and methods proposed by PRO ACT and to gather suggestions for better guidance of the project
- To mobilise local governments and donor agencies in order to rely on their cooperation for initiatives scheduled by the project
- To start constructing a real Euro-Asian network of people convinced of the interest of PRO ACT, eager to develop decentralised cooperation and to exchange views and experiences.
