4.3 Choosing relevant entry point for EU intervention
The TALD has three main building blocks: local development management systems, institutions and capacities at sub-national level and supportive national policies.
Each of these elements could offer different entry points for a potential EU intervention enabling LAs as developmental actors and catalysts of territorial development.
In order to facilitate the selection of entry points for using a TALD, the following questions deserve attention:
-
What are the priority actions in terms of enabling LAs as developmental actors?
-
What entry points are most consistent with the various types of outcomes the EU wants to achieve?
-
Where is there sufficient political traction to move forward relatively smoothly (considering the power relations, interests and incentives of the various actors involved)?
-
What are other players doing (e.g. central governments, donor agencies, civil society actors) in support of territorial development?
-
Where can the EU — as a political player with leverage and resources — add value?
