How do you ensure that you as a municipality manage your heritage optimally, in order to achieve municipal goals? That was the central question of VNG International's four-day training on municipal property/heritage management from December 5-9 to staff and administrators of Algerian municipalities and the central government.

The overall objective of the project is to support Algeria in the context of the new deconcentration-decentralisation process and its integrated territorial development approach. With this Shiraka project presented here, we are making a modest first step towards achieving this goal.<br />

Specific Objectives:<br />
• Bilateral cooperation on local governance between the Netherlands and Algeria is strengthened. <br />
