Those actions must have a global, multi-country character. Priority will be given to actions with a multi-actor approach comprising activities aiming at:

1. improving the capacity of Non-State Actors from partner countries to engage in local, national and international decision making processes;

2. improving linkages, partnerships and networking (North-South and South-South) between Non-State Actors and Local Authorities from the European Community and from the partner countries (thematic fora, coordination, consensus building, advocacy, communication and information systems, etc.);

3. providing innovative service delivery and service delivery in difficult/out of reach environments;

4. facilitating interaction and exchanges between State and Non-State Actors in different contexts and

5. reinforcing the role of Non State Actors and Local Authorities in decentralisation processes.
