The project aims to improve the participation of Czech municipalities in international development cooperation through a pilot project called "Program of municipal international development". The preparatory phase aims to set general conditions of the pilot project. The model is built on an umbrella organization that provides administrative and coordination support to Czech municipalities which realize their development activities via the umbrella organization. In addition, the project includes a contact seminar that seeks to find suitable partner municipalities from selected priority countries of the Czech development cooperation to establish long-term municipal development.
