Realising DREAMS – Development of Resources and Access to Municipal Services for South and Southeast Asian Local Authorities

Realising Dreams
The project is a follow-up of previous experiences and projects funded by the EU, which have seen the Municipality of Bologna and the Municipality of Vaxjo in Sweden engaged in experimenting the introduction of environmental budgeting both at the local (European ecoBudget project) and international (ecoBudget-Asia project) levels. The project is aimed at enabling and support the Local Authorities in Bangladesh, Bhutan, India, Cambodia and Philippines to achieve their services and urban governance in a sustainable manner and assist in attaining the Millennium Development Goals. The local authorities will be facilitated to take informed and well planned decisions with the help of two tested and accepted innovative tools: 1) the Environment and Natural Resource Management System (ecoBudget®) and 2) the Poverty Database Monitoring System (PDMS).
The method supports good urban governance and local empowerment by developing management capacity of the local authorities. The project also aims to develop an empowered and participative society by increasing participation of Non State Actors and local stakeholders in the communities.
