* '''What influences the efficient operation of local authorities?'''
 
In response to the TQ, the 24 participants came up with 66 obstacles, which were categorized in 10 clusters. Following the voting process, 37 ideas received one or more votes, but only 23 ideas, that received 2 or more votes, were structured to create the influence MAP shown below. <br>
 
According to the participants of the Troodos Co_Laboratotory, the obstacles with the greatest negative influence on the efficiency of local governance in Cyprus were: <br>
* Idea #1, The long delays on the side of the government in taking decisions and <br>
* Idea # 65, The fact that local authorities are not organized in larger complexes
 
The Co-Laboratory was facilitated by [[Aleco Christakis]], [[Georgina Siitta Achilleos]] and [[Elena Aristodemou]], with support from [[Yiannis Laouris]] and [[Marios Michaelides]].

Executive Summary

This co-laboratory is part of a cycle of trainings and other activities organised within the framework of the European project “Capacity and Synergy building among NGDOs and LAs in Greece, Cyprus and Malta for development”, MeDevNet in short. The MeDevNet project is implemented in the target countries Greece, Cyprus and Malta. The overall objective of the project is to enhance cooperation of NGDO platforms and LAs in the three countries, Greece, Cyprus and Malta in order to become efficient agents of development and to participate in the planning of and the debate over EU development policy. The estimated results are: Increased networking, communication and structured dialogue among a broad range of actors involved in international development cooperation, NSAs & LAs in partner countries and EU institutions which will lead to the development of a concrete strategy of cooperation. Capacity built in each partner and associate partner organization on networking, lobbying and advocacy with a focus always on international development cooperation issues. Reinforcement of the communication with the developing world through the cooperation with the experts from UCLGA and the migrants forums.


The Cyprus Academy of Public Administration, operating under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Finance was the sponsor of the project. The 10 structured dialogues were part of a larger project, co-funded by European Structural Funds (85%) and the Cyprus Government (15%) "Employment, Human Capital and Social Cohesion” 2007-2013, under Priority Axis1 Development of Human Resources and Adaptability" that aimed the improvement and advancement of the role and operation of the Cypriot local governance system. The overall project, titled Training and Development of Managerial and Leadership Abilities within Local Authority Organizations, has a value of about €2,5 million, it includes 7 modules, and has a duration of 54 months. It was launched on the 25th of September 2009. The long-term goal is to enhance the managerial and leadership abilities of those working in local authorities. The tender Learning and Development Needs for Cypriot Local Authorities, which included the 10 SDDPs, had a value of about €100,000.
