Background
The PAMLED Project aims at strengthening the capability of 3 Mediterranean and 5 European Municipalities (including South East Europe) in managing local development as well as in implementing innovative initiatives of economic promotion and environmental care in two fields of action:
1. Planning and management
2. City marketing.
The internal staff of the 8 Municipalities involved will implement a selection of pilot actions both on sustainable development and management, and on city marketing. These initiatives will be characterised by pro-active interventions in many fields of action that could envisage: tourist attraction and enhancement of local assets and products, image building, support and growth of specific economic categories, environmental actions, etc. This final result will be achieved by carrying out many activities both within the Municipalities and among them.
A particular effort of the network has been placed to involve the civil society, while a permanent feedback is being encouraged to gather citizens and relevant stakeholders’ point of view. Importance has been placed to the promotion of a bottom-up approach in the local choices with emphasis on citizens’ participation and the use of local partnership and consensus to implement specific policies.

Expected results
The expected results of the PAMLED can be summarized as follows:
1. Enlarge mutual knowledge of socio-economic problems affecting their own contexts, share and debate, based on an experimental and collective-learning approach, different ways of dealing with them;
2. Foster their reciprocal relationships by setting up explicit and ad hoc methods of co-operation, based on city-to-city partnerships, in specific topics regarding local economic development;
3. Raise their awareness of citizens point of view about specific services delivered and methods pointing out to cope with specific problems;
4. Better mark out local needs and priorities and, counting on on-site and on-line tailored-technical assistance, single out the pilot projects in the sub-topics identified throughout the PAMLED;
5. Implement a selection of experimental pilot projects based on targeted technical assistance and practical training to be undertaken in another Municipality that has already gained expertise on one of the specific sub-topics of action.
