Economic Development through Inclusive Local Empowerment

Programme 2007 - 2013 Mediterranean Sea Basin ENPI CBC

Date of latest update: 2021-04-06

Description

Description (EN):

From the year 2000 to the recent political uprisings, South Mediterranean countries have been welcoming an increasing inflow of public and private investment projects. However, facts show that these projects have often not been as beneficial as expected for local economies, creating few jobs (on average, only 1 single direct job created per million Euros invested by foreign operators), generating limited local economic spillovers (few opportunities offered to local subcontractors) and sometimes underestimated negative impacts (on the environment for instance). Correlatively, procedures for project evaluation are not evenly developed in the Mediterranean area and public authorities involved in investment regulation lack the necessary tools to proceed to a sound assessment of projects. Yet, evaluation can play a key role in selecting the best public investment projects and in supporting private projects which are the most likely to contribute to the inclusive development of territories. When conducted adequately, evaluation has indeed proven to be an efficient mean to support job creation, local subcontracting, training or environment conservation. The EDILE project will therefore strive to reinforce capacities of local and national public authorities in project appraisal and evaluation, thus encouraging a better selection of public investment projects and an effective negotiation to maximise private investment impact. Specific objective To enhance the capacities of local authorities & economic bodies in assessing & improving investment projects, using an innovative process mixing case studies, design of assessment tools, dialogue with enterprises & civil society and practical search for higher social benefits

Expected Results (EN):

• Improved management capacities of local investment projects (impact on environment, labour, industrial fabric, social conditions, etc.), allowing local authorities to better negotiate with private companies and to orient projects in a way maximising social benefits • A common referential and toolkit for social and environmental responsible investment projects designed and widely promoted at Mediterranean level • 300 staff of public administrations, companies, business organisations, unions, NGOs trained and empowered regarding investment monitoring and improvement • 15 investment projects monitored (average € 10 million) with the objective of investment optimization between 15% and 30% of additional value-added in the local economy
