Project Innovative decentralised Energy and Water Management Policies can encourage the creation of a market economy and help rural development

- The project want to promote new models for a sustainable rural development in non-electrified small-medium villages of the Third Mediterranean Countries (TMC) by means of the creation of local organisation (SMEs, co-operative, NGO) using as far as possible the Water Management (W.M.) and the new Renewable Energies (R.E.) technologies developed in RTD EU programmes.

- To this purpose it needs to identify the main barriers to the introduction of this scheme and to develop policy guidelines able to overcome these barriers.
- The methodology of the project is based on thematic meetings with specific topics logically connected, on seminars for the training of local experts and on the creation of a WEB site.
