Peers Regional Organisations: Call for mirroring regions outside of Europe

With the objective of extending the visibility of ENTRANCES outside European boundaries, European Association of Development Agencies (EURADA) is conducting a call for mirroring regions outside of Europe that are facing similar issues when dealing with decarbonisation policies.

Purpose of the call and involvement

The call has been organised to select three organisations (to be identified as “Peers Regional Organisations”) from coal mining and carbon-intensive regions of Africa, America, and Asia.  These organisations will be involved in the co-creation process of ENTRANCES, in order to discuss the policy recommendations that the project will produce. The chosen organisations will also be invited to participate in the following meetings:

  • First meeting of the project in Brussels (May 2021) and the last meeting of the project in Brussels as well (April 2023) (alternatively, online in the event of travel restrictions or other similar circumstances); and
  • The co-creation meetings that will take place in the pilot territories of the project (online if necessary).

The organisations will be committed to disseminating the project results among their networks and internationally, as well as actively participating in the co-creation process of the outputs mentioned above.

Requisites of the organisation

  • The organisation should have a regional working scope.
  • The organisation should be dealing with issues related to the coal or carbon-intensive nature of the region.
  • The organisation should have a practical approach to the matter.
  • The organisation should play a relevant role in the decarbonisation process, or in the coal-mining and/or carbon-intensive activities.

Submission of proposals

If you are willing to participate in this call, please send to ENTRANCES@eurada.org the below:

  • CV and contact details of the person in the organisation responsible for the involvement
  • Filled in Annex I 

Selection Criteria

The offers will be selected according to the following criteria and scoring:

  • Their belonging to a region characterised for the coal and/or carbon-intensive activities.
  • How closely the organisation is dealing with issues and process that emanate from these activities (decarbonisation process, technical support for economic transition, unemployment derived from these transitions, etc.)
  • The capacity of the organisation to propose a person, or a group of people, with remarkable expertise in the field. This is to say, capacity to communicate and to disseminate among other people the knowledge acquired during the co-creation meeting, and to transfer the experience and knowledge from the region to the co-creation meetings.

Deadline

22nd November 2020 at 23:59 CET

Board of Regional Stakeholders – invitations open

In order to facilitate enhanced dissemination of the results of ENTRANCES in other European coal mining and carbon-intensive regions beyond those already involved, project partner EURADA is building a Board of Regional Stakeholders. The Board will be composed of experts working hands-on to support implementation of the green transition. European Association of Development Agencies (EURADA) is looking for regional actors and policy makers from regions in transition, who can share with the ENTRANCES consortium their experiences, best practices, action plans, and views on their specific challenges and opportunities. This is aimed at creating significant added value for the project. 


During the lifetime of the project, the experts from the Board of Regional Stakeholders will be invited to the below project meetings:

  • One methodological workshop
  • 13 regional co-creation meetings
  • One EU policy co-creation meeting
  • Several virtual follow-up meetings

The experts will have the opportunity to present their respective case including insights on how they are coping with the de-carbonisation process and its social impacts, such as de-territorialisation. In this way the overall scope of the project will grow further paving way for collection of perspectives of additional regions and stakeholders. At the same time, participation in these activities will keep the regions participating in the Board up to date with the project findings and developments.

If you are interested in being part of the Board of Regional Stakeholders, please contact entrances@eurada.org.
