Answer:

Infrastructure has always determined the quality of people’s lives and is an instrumental ingredient of efforts to achieve economic growth. It is about the way we move, communicate, have access to clean water, energy security, and much more

This is why European PROGRES is focussed on supporting local self-governments not just through direct implementation but most importantly through ensuring that local capacities are in place to implement infrastructural projects, from inception to completion.

Potential success of these procedures is best illustrated through example of the construction of a higher education facility to house Bujanovac department of Economics Faculty in Subotica. This project, initiated by the need for the bilingual higher education in the multi-ethnic Bujanovac, in its inception phase faced one of the most common issues of local infrastructural projects - unresolved land ownership and the lack of clarity in relation to property rights. Through close coordination of local, government and international organisations, supported by European PROGRES, these barriers took over a year to overcome. However, once the technical documentation was in order, and thanks to precise planning and strict implementation process, the building worth nearly a million Euros was constructed in nine months adhering to the highest European standards and without any budget deviation.

In order to enhance the integrated approach to sustainable infrastructure development the Programme encourages partner municipalities to participate in the Calls for Proposals for the development of detailed construction designs, detailed regulation plans and introduction of geographic information systems.

“Technical documentation is prerequisite for the development of the local infrastructure projects and subsequent funding of any construction works,” says Jasmina Ilić, European PROGRES Sector Manager for Infrastructure. “This is a lengthy process that can last up to five years and can be undertaken only in those communities that already have the vision of their sustainable urban, rural and industrial development reflected in the planning documents.”

This new reality in the infrastructure sector suggests greater competition and tougher criteria for winning the funding for infrastructure projects and will impact the Programme’s partner municipalities the most. Ilić however remains confident that the ongoing, integrated approach implemented by European PROGRES will provide sturdy base for sustainable development.
