Objective
From the beginning, Medcités has used cooperation between local authorities as a means of action. Expertise is provided within a municipal framework. The input of external experts is kept to a minimum. The project will be based in three European towns: Barcelona, Marseilles and Rome. Other towns like Haifa, Limassol and Tetouan will share their areas of expertise (some of them gained by working within the network) with the towns where activities will take place (for example, the expertise of Haifa will be used for the audit of Ashdod/Israel).
Through three well defined actions, the project has three clear aims:
1. Evaluation of the environmental situation in two towns of the network and of the priority levels of the problems (two audits carried out in two towns of the network);
2. information and awareness-raising of those involved in the towns (creation of a public information service on the environment and sustainable development);
3. coordination, observation and monitoring of the environment (creation of an observatory of the environment in Tripoli / Lebanon). The three actions (audits, creation of an information service on the environment and of an observatory of the environment) will be based on the methodology developed by the network. This proposal is part of an overall strategy which was developed by by the network in 1993.
The project is limited therefore to three actions:
- carrying out of two audits: Ashdod (Israel) and Larnaca (Cyprus);
- creation of a public information service on the environment in 2 towns of the network: Limassol (Cyprus) and Sousse (Tunisia);
- developing a tool for coordination, observation and monitoring of the environment in Tripoli in Lebanon.
Awareness-raising / training accompanies the actions and is also a follow-on to those initiated in 1996 on the basis of the "Training Kit", which is today a reference document (recognised by the Metap and PAM) on the local urban environment and sustainable development in the Mediterranean. This document is at present being adapted for the countries of Eastern Europe.
Among the expected results of this project there is:
1. Evaluation of the environmental situation or circumstances which will contribute to the adoption of action plans (to know is to act better);
2. Information and education (citizens, associations, NGOs, socio-economic partners) through the emergence of a municipal service accessible to all.
