KNOWLEDGE EXCHANGE: FAs IN THE EU
The Knowledge Exchange on Tools, Approaches and Best Practices for Integrated Strategic Planning
The Knowledge Exchange on Tools, Approaches and Best Practices for Integrated Strategic Planning Workshop was jointly hosted by DG REGIO and the World Bank, and aimed at presenting tools, approaches, and best practices for integrated strategic planning. It is developed within the “Functional areas in the EU” project with the purpose to facilitate part of a broader goal of the project – to improve the EU-wide approaches on the topic. As such, the event represented the first knowledge exchange activity, and it will be followed by other specific-themed workshops.
To accomplish its objective, representatives of several functional areas together with specialists from the Joint Research Centre and the World Bank presented best practices and tools for integrated strategic planning. Besides exchanging knowledge and best practices, the event also aimed to create synergies in order to better respond to cross-jurisdictional challenges and achieve common development aims.
CONTEXT

The planned knowledge exchange activities focus on key topics of relevance to them, and are also a good opportunity to get to know colleagues from across the EU and foster partnerships for achieving common development aims.
