| SUMMARY: (01/05/1999) The project want to promote new models for a sustainable rural development in non-electrified small-medium villages of the Third Mediterranean Countries (TMC) by means of the creation of local organisation (SMEs, co-operative, NGO) using as far as possible the Water Management (W.M.) and the new Renewable Energies (R.E.) technologies developed in RTD EU programmes. To this purpose it needs to identify the main barriers to the introduction of this scheme and to develop policy guidelines able to overcome these barriers. The methodology of the project is based on thematic meetings with specific topics logically connected, on seminars for the training of local experts and on the creation of a WEB site. |

| EXPECTED RESULTS: The launch of national programmes for water/energy sustainable management in isolated rural areas in each TMC, the involvement of EU economic operators in joint venture with TMC companies for production, installation, distribution, financing of initiatives and the creation of a stable network among partners and other interested private and public subjects are the main expected outcomes of the project. The dissemination of the activities will be carried out by brochures, WWW project site and a workshop organised as 6th project meeting. |
