A joint study on the current situation on public e-services in RO and BG has been made.
The strategy for improvement of the environment regarding public services in the CBA Bulgaria-Romania under E-GoverNet project, was drafted based on the outcomes of the study and analysis previously carried out by both LB and B2. The strategy and its full translation in EN has been uploaded on the web platform E-GoverNet.
The teams of both project partners held meetings with representatives of public authorities in the CBA and encourage them to take part in the project activities and join the Network. 13 cooperation agreements with different public authorities or NGOs from the cross-border area, were signed.
Promotional activities were carried out by the project partners, including elaboration of promotional materials and organization of meetings with stakeholders for disseminating the project results.
