 | Cohesion policy support for local development: best practice and future policy options In October 2010, the Directorate General for Regional Policy commissioned a study including two expert workshops from ADETEF, in association with AEIDL, Notre Europe and City Consult Bt. The purpose of the study was to provide a new impetus to local development and debate on how it can best be utilised within the present and future cohesion policy framework. This report draws upon a six-month team work, which included desk research, case-studies, interviews of key informants, and several meetings. |
