PA 1A Mobilitv - Waterways

Closed

lnland waterway transport still has unexploited capacities compared to other transport modes - in Europe and even more so in the Danube region - because of the existence of various challenges, such as navigational bottlenecks, a partly obsolete inland fleet and a shortage of qualified personnel. These challenges require mobilization of resources and close coordination of activities. This project is therefore aimed at establishing a stable and effective governance system for PA1a. This project will support the implementation of the EUSDR and will hereby enhance transnational institutional capacity of public authorities and stakeholders in the Danube region. The core activities of this project include: - WPl (Management, publicity and communication): Efficient project management as well as high visibility of project outcomes via targeted dissemination activities. - WP2 (Policy development): Monitoring relevant policy initiatives as well as contributing to selected policy initiatives related to Danube navigation. - WP3 (Cooperation and coordination): lnvolvement of the targeted inland waterway stakeholders in the cross-border Danube regions as well as cross-thematic co-operations with other PAs and EU institutions. - WP4 (Strategic projects): Monitoring and supporting project initiatives, which are essentialfor realizing policies through operational implementation works. The project main result will be the PAs improved effectiveness of coordination and strategy implementation in supporting the competitiveness of inland navigation on the Danube and its navigable tributaries through enhanced coordination between the PAs actors, the facilitation of project initiatives and through targeted support for policy development.
