Local Communities in Environmental Action

closed

Protection of environmental resources and the encouragement of local communities to participate actively in this process are the main themes of this project. Municipality of Delta and Municipality of Kavadarci have the common need for the protection of the rivers that run through their geographical area: the river of Axios and the river of Luda Mara. UNESCO Youth Club of Thessaloniki and YMCA - Skopje are two active youth NGOs with a great interest in environmental issues. The overall objective of the proposed project is the realization of common actions and specific interventions for the protection of the natural environment. Major outputs of the project include an IT platform and equipment for the control of water pollution as well as a special infrastructure project in the river of Luda Mara. The project also sensitizes local citizens, farmers, entrepreneurs, representatives of local authorities and organizations, since they can actively participate in the process of environmental protection by sending reports and notifications via sms and email through the IT management and surveillance system. Finally, dissemination activities include the organization of two Info days, six workshops, a website, articles in newspapers and project’s promotional items.
