Muncipalities are invited to write

with their regional municipal partners an integral economic governance programme in partnership with stakeholders and

ther levels of government

Recommendations

Increase ability to establish links

between domains & sectors, and layers of administration: knowlege and skills building for mayors, alderman, politicians and civil servants

Substantive regional challenges take

priority: no new structure/blueprint but less permissive (inter‐municipal) cooperation to reduce fragmentation

Increase adaptibility for municipalities

(and provinces) to respond to new developments and changes: differentiation, deregulation, less hierarchy between provinces and municipalities

Modernisation of financial relations
