The action seeks to improve the competencies and organisational capacity of key national and regional authorities to carry out their management and regulatory tasks in line with the circular economy and sustainable development. The primary focus is on the public sector (ministries, directorates, agencies), implementing sectors that interact directly with citizens and businesses (inspectorates, agencies, government regulatory authorities) and act as policy enablers (public institutions, regional and local development agencies). The action will leverage the expertise and experience gained from the Life IP Care4Climate project and the activities undertaken under the Deep Demonstration Slovenia project.
Objective: To establish a dedicated group of experts to provide training and promote circular practices among public actors; to develop a flexible circular approach that will serve as a basic document for increasing circular capacity among public stakeholders; to increase capacity for circular transition at all levels of the Government, both vertical and horizontal, through the delivery of 12 training sessions; to present and implement a monitoring plan to track improvements in capacity and knowledge, focusing in particular on public sector representatives.
