To improve coherence and strengthen vertical coordination, in accordance with art. 34 of Legislative Decree 152/2006, the MoE activated a coordination mechanism with Regions, Autonomous Provinces and metropolitan cities aiming at exchanging experiences and comparing methodological approaches to increase coherence in the implementation of regional and metropolitan strategies. To this aim, the Ministry also signed agreements with each of them, providing financial and technical support. Additional technical support is also provided by the Ministry through the CReIAMO PA Project (Competences and Networks for the Environmental Integration and for the Improvement of the Public Administration Organizations) in the framework of the programming period 2014-2020 of the European Social Fund. This experience aims at accompanying the process of localizing the NSDS and the SDGs at subnational and local level. Find out more here (in Italian).
