Capacity building project on local development and sustainability 

Organised by the OECD Trento Centre for Local Development, the Autonomous University of Tamaulipas (UAT), Mexico and the Centre for International Cooperation (CCI)

Rationale 

The project is aimed at generating capacities in the academic representatives of the University of Tamaulipas, active at the state and local levels in promoting and addressing the design and management of strategies for local productive development as well as for the development and execution of projects. These must correspond to the effective needs of the local realities from Tamaulipas and in general from Mexico, improving the capacity of local governments to harness the existing resources of national funds for local development.

The final objective is to generate specific capacities that enable UAT representatives participating in the project to act as agents for development at the local levels of which, in many local contexts of Tamaulipas, a structural weakness has been detected. This is instead an essential precondition for ensuring the effectiveness, efficiency and durability of the results of public investments for local development, as international experiences show.
