The Decentralized Cooperation Programme (DCP) delivers innovative training aimed at strengthening the capacity of government authorities and civil society leaders to contribute towards the advancement of sustainable development. Our training programmes serve as a platform to exchange knowledge and facilitate cooperation among decision-makers from different levels of government, civil society and the private sector.
DCP II will therefore add value and complement other emergent and ongoing NSA programmes. DCP II will also complement the social and economic empowerment sector of the EU General Budget Support programmes, which includes indicators on empowerment of vulnerable groups since the start of empowerment programme in 2007.
