A memorandum of understanding (MoU) was signed, last Wednesday, between the Federation of the Bhamdoon Highlands Municipalities represented by its president, Yussef Chayya, and the implementation group of the Capacity Building Component of the European Union (EU). According to the MoU, the Federation will be expected to produce a strategy for strengthening local development for the local municipalities and villages through a participatory planning process. The plan will include a number of action headings notably defining the future development direction for the Federation and its member municipalities, selecting one development project to incentivize medium and long terms growth and finally developing the capacities of the Federation so as to become self reliant at the evel of development planning.
