This paper analyses Veneto’s decentralised development co-operation (DDC) practices. Key issues include the need to review its strategic objectives, prioritise resource allocation and increase the representation of specific groups in project partnerships. Veneto’s 2023-2025 DDC strategy demonstrates a commitment to addressing these challenges by targeting critical areas of reform in governance, stakeholder engagement and project evaluation. Drawing on insights from four international case studies, this paper outlines detailed recommendations to enhance the strategy’s effectiveness, efficiency and inclusiveness and aims to integrate Veneto’s DDC engagements with local development opportunities. Leveraging sectoral champions and involving the private sector represent untapped potential, fostering a cycle of awareness and stronger public support for DDC in Veneto.
