Empower Local Authorities towards an inclusive Digital Local Agenda DAElocal_IT
The document discusses the CEMSDI project which aims to empower local authorities through digital inclusion and a Digital Local Agenda (DLA). The DLA is a process, policy, and monitoring tool to implement eGovernment strategies. Pilots are running in 5 countries to test the DLA approach through capacity building workshops.

The Italian pilot identified 8 regions for training and the program includes two levels of attendees. The training covers document management, cooperation, and communication to support the DLA planning and implementation.
Summary of programs and projects as of first quarter 2012Rdc Cordillera
1. The document lists 42 programs and projects being implemented in the Cordillera Administrative Region as of March 2012 across social, economic, and infrastructure sectors.
2. The total cost of the programs and projects is PHP 6.3 billion with funding from various national and international sources.
3. Implementation status varies significantly across programs, with some nearly complete while others are in early stages or facing delays such as project rebidding due to failed initial bidding processes.
The Donegal Integrated Service Delivery Project aimed to deliver seamless, quality public services through integrated service delivery and a choice of access channels. The project developed public service centers that co-located agencies to provide a single point of access for customers. Research found current deficiencies in data sharing and systems integration between agencies that caused duplication of effort. The project has progressed from co-locating agencies to better coordinating services and is working towards fully integrating services around customer needs. Success requires continued focus on the customer experience, interagency collaboration, and a supporting national framework.
