Capacity-building for sustainable development through renewable energy sources. Guidelines in participation and training within TERRE project

The present guidelines were initially addressed to all TERRE Project Partners, to explain the capacity building and participation programme within TERRE framework and activities (contained in Work Package 5), both theoretically and practically. The guidelines have been revised to respond to the general goal of structuring participation and capacity building within a process of elaboration of local sustainable development through Renewable Energy Sources, as for the TERRE project main goal. The guidelines constitute a methodological manual to design activities of participation and capacity building, initially tailored to support each TERRE partner to achieve the project goals and objectives for their case study areas, under a common framework and understanding of the general objective of sustainable local development. The guidelines can be considered as a plot, which can be tailored on project-based and context-based process to be implemented in other case study areas under different hypothesis, goals and conditions. They can to be used as a general methodological proposal for similar activities in the same field or in other fields, considering the general organization of activities and contents. Moreover, they can be use as a plot for single activities, with respect to specific contents, tools and instruments developed within TERRE and applicable independently. In fact, the annexes of the present guidelines collect documents and formats used by partners for each activity during the different phases of the capacity building and participation process.
