Siamo stati invitati dalla Commissione Europea – DG Regio a raccontare la nostra attività di analisi del Rating Pubblico sulle Regioni, ottenendo il plauso, tra gli altri, di Transparency International.

Vittoria Floyd Alliata, Direttrice per il rafforzamento della capacità amministrativa, ci ha inseriti tra gli interventi programmati della High level conference “Engaging Citizens for Good Governance in Cohesion Policy”, nonostante che il programma della Conferenza fosse chiuso da tempo.

“In her political guidelines for the new Commission, President Ursula von der Leyen expressed her will for European citizens to play a leading and active part in building the future of our Union. The importance of more citizen engagement has been recognised and strengthened in the Lisbon Treaty with the European citizens’ initiative and in a number of documents and political declarations, such as the Commission contribution to the Sibiu Declaration for a “new strategic agenda for the EU 2019-2024”. With this in mind, the European Commission’s Directorate-General for Regional and Urban Policy is organising a conference on engaging citizens and civil society in Cohesion Policy. The event will take place under the political leadership and with the participation of Commissioner for Cohesion and Reforms Elisa Ferreira and will focus on how to ensure closer cooperation with citizens and civil society in the governance and implementation of Cohesion Policy and management of dedicated EU funds.
Through a more active citizens’ engagement, institutions will become even more transparent and accountable, while investments will bring more and bigger results on the ground.“

In concomitanza con il Presidente della Regione Toscana abbiamo raccontato la partnership con quella Regione per migliorare la sua capacità amministrativa e quindi la sua capacità di spendere meglio i soldi pubblici e di erogare migliori servizi.
