Local and regional success stories of investing in disaster resilience
The aim of the study is to collect, map and share good practices, examples and success stories of investing in disaster resilience (including but not limited to in response to past disasters and the lessons learned from them) at local and regional level. The study focuses on collecting evidence on initiatives, good practice examples and measures taken by the NAT commission members to improve disaster resilience. The study will be built on interviews with NAT commission members based on a questionnaire. The study will also draw conclusions on the benefits of investing in disaster resilience and make some recommendations to local and regional authorities for moving forward based on the success stories collected from the members demonstrating that smart investment at local and regional level can make a difference in disaster risk reduction. The focus will be mainly, but not exclusively, on extreme weather events and climate-related disasters, given their growing frequency, intensity and impact. The study will contribute to knowledge sharing and exchange of good practices, by collecting and sharing success stories from and by members who have invested in reducing vulnerabilities and strengthening disaster resilience at local and regional level. As a repository of local and regional good practice examples, initiatives and measures relating to disaster preparedness and resilience, the aim of the study is also to feed into a bigger and longer-term project to map success stories of investing in disaster resilience on the ground.

How the EU should prepare for the enlargement in terms of governance, policies and investments: options and choices made from a territorial perspective
The main goal of the study is to update the information on EU funds and programmes to which the subnational authorities from the Eastern Partnership (EaP) countries have access. The study will describe the general features of funds in place at the EU and national level and suggest easiest ways of accessing these for the local and regional authorities in EaP countries. Working on the study CASE experts will take the CoR publication of 2018 (done also by CASE experts) as a basis and update its content taking into account financial resources available within the Neighbourhood, Development and International Cooperation Instrument (NDICI) for the upcoming financial period (2021-2027). Additionally to the study of 2018, this study will also cover COVID-related financial assistance for economic recovery.
Similarly to the previous publication of 2018, for each of the programmes, the study will offer a general description of programme’s priorities, structure, budget and geographical focus, give recent examples of projects successfully funded in an EaP country, and indicate where and how LRAs can apply for funding within the programme concerned.
The study will be published in the form of an updated brochure to be used as a manual/guide for the local and regional authorities in the EaP countries and their associations.
