The continuous upgrading of the role of Regional Administration and Local Authorities in managing local issues, creates on the one hand significant opportunities and prospects and on the other pressing needs for leadership and capability building. The need to implement new activities and active policies at local level implies transformations and changes both in financing and managing available resources and in using tools and techniques already successfully tested in the wider public and private sectors. At the same time it creates additional needs for modernization and adaptation of the management model and the operational procedures of Regional and Local Authorities.
PLAS addresses these needs by offering specialized training and capability building opportunities, tailored to the requirements of Regional Administration and Local Authorities.
