Prosump Initiative

“Promoting regional exchange for the implementation of sustainable urban mobility plans in the Western Balkan countries” under the Open Regional Fund for South-Eastern Europe-Energy, Transport and Climate Protection (ORF-ETC) aims to support cities in South-Eastern Europe (SEA) in strengthening the capacities of local self-governments for the implementation of sustainable mobility measures. ORF-ETC is commissioned by the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ) and co-financed by the European Union.

The component addresses three levels. The transfer of knowledge of good practices and experiences of EU countries in the implementation of sustainable urban mobility plans (SUMP) is carried out through the existing regional network (e.g. Civinet Croatia-Slovenia-SEA). At the national level, the capacities of associations of municipalities will be strengthened in order to be able to better advise municipalities on the development and implementation of the SUMP. At the local level, the component supports selected LSGs in building the organisational and technical capacities, which are a prerequisite for the successful implementation of the SUMP. The Regional Development Agency of the Ljubljana Urban Region (RRA LUR) is involved in the initiative as a promoter and facilitator for the transfer of good practices from EU countries in the field of sustainable mobility.

The Sustainable Urban Mobility (SUM) Learning Platform represents the main learning platform for municipalities and regions in the representative country on the topic of sustainable mobility.
