Integrated policies and multi-level governance approaches are significant and crucial for strengthening regional development and cohesion, by eliminating legal obstacles and other barriers in border regions. A specific need for better governance and exchanging good practices between actors of multi-level governance systems shall be addressed. It will lead to more socially equitable public services and increase territorial and social cohesion as well as promote the principle of equal opportunities across the CBC area.
Actions under this SO, will support transnational synergies aiming at improving multi-sectoral governance processes on all territorial levels, given the complex challenges related to digitalisation, demographic change, public services of general interest (such as health, education, social services) and tourism including culture. Actions should follow a cross-sectoral approach and foster the horizontal and vertical cooperation of relevant actors of the public and, where appropriate, the private sector. Furthermore, actions should also strengthen the capacity of public authorities to prepare integrated territorial development strategies. Possible cooperation actions include the joint development and implementation of strategies, action plans, tools, pilot actions and related solutions.
Actions should foresee cooperation with other European instruments and initiatives such as the ERDF mainstream programmes, the Rural Programmes (including LEADER) cross-border Interreg programmes, as well as transboundary and transnational governance structures (e.g. EGTCs and EUREGIOS).
Actions should also take into account relevant international initiatives and platforms, which seek better coordinating governance processes in specific thematic areas and in particular the EU macro-regional strategies.
In short, improved governance shall involve: integration (where possible) of policy sectors, policy dialogue among relevant institutions, and by encouraging the involvement of citizens and other stakeholders (e.g. by proliferating the use of digital tools).
