Objective of the project implemented in 2010 by the Zawady Municipality in cooperation with the Development Policy Foundation was to improve communication between entrepreneurs and the local authorities in the area of the city of Vysokoye in Belarus and to demonstrate on the basis of the best Polish practices how good governance translates into investment policy and promotion of the region.
At that moment it was the only thematic area in which the Belarusian administration of the lowest level is ready to take advantage of the know-how of Polish local governments. As a result of the project, the unique partnerships between the municipalities of Zawady and Mielnik in Poland and Belarusian administration of the lowest level interested in Polish good practices in the field of self-governance was established. During the project implementation, a study tour was organized for Belarusian entrepreneurs and local administration authorities to the municipalities of Zawady and Mielnik.
