Task 1. Provided technical support to the CoM signatories to develop and implement SECAPs:
The project provided support to five selected CoM signatories on the step-by-step preparation of SECAPs through seminars/webinars, on-line/face-to-face consultation, site workshops. Detailed action plan with certain milestones, phases, implementation responsibilities, and implementation timeline were prepared for each municipality. Municipalities in Azerbaijan did not have the technical or financial capacity to implement all actions stipulated in their SECAP. The project supported pilot activities for Mingachevir municipality to show how it can effectively turn its SECAP into practical action and play an active role in greening processes at local levels. Lessons from these pilot projects helped other municipalities to identify possible solutions for rolling out their own SECAPs.
Task 2: Provided technical support to the M4EG signatories to develop LEDPs:
The project provided support to ten selected M4EG signatories on the step-by-step preparation of LEDPs through seminars/webinars, on-line/face-to-face consultation, site workshops. Detailed action plan with certain milestones, phases, implementation responsibilities, and implementation timeline were prepared for each municipality. The project also aimed to disseminate amongst the signatory municipalities a successful experience in development of the LEDPs.
