Delivering Services in Remote and Rural Areas: A Transnational Exchange of Ideas and Practices - DESERVE

Closed

All the participating partners across the Northern Periphery region share concerns for the difficulties faced by service providers, as well as service users in remote and rural areas. Each participating region has topographical, geographical and demographic similarities to overcome that create problems in accessing services, as well as in the delivery of services. The DESERVE project seeks to establish the transferability of models of service delivery to remote and rural areas among the participating partner regions. Each participating region will implement a project in their native region utilising a model, or elements of various models, previously tested by partners in their own regions. The emphasis is on models of service delivery to remote and rural areas rather than on the specific services provided in these areas. The rationale for this being that sectors may be able to learn lessons from one another. Partners are also keen to establish the extent to which models must be adapted to suit local contexts.
