On the planning of the socio-economic development of the Municipality of Tvarditsa (Bulgaria)

Abstract

Guided by the belief that local socio-economic development is the result of planned actions requiring the involvement of a wide range of stakeholders as well as the definition of a common framework for community development through mobilization of the existing resources, the main goal behind the methodology that is proposed in this paper refers to the determination of such a general framework within which to carry out activities in support of local development with the participation of all stakeholders in the Municipality of Tvarditsa (Bulgaria) to ensure the unification of action and coordination of efforts in terms of real local development.

The use of the method “learning by doing” mentioned in the work has been proven effective in the training of municipal employees. Its use will increase the capacity of local communities in planning and promoting the municipality as a good place for doing business.
