“CAPACITY 21” PROGRMME
 After the Rio+5 Earth Summit held in New York in 1997, Bulgaria
started the implementation of Capacity 21. Bulgaria launched a
national study examining implementation of the first two stages
of Capacity 21 and measuring Bulgaria’s progress towards
sustainable development. The results speak of a notable
progress, namely in terms of:
 Aligning national legislation with the principles of
sustainable development;
 Creating the necessary central and local institutional
framework;
 Devising mechanisms of interaction and information
sharing;
 Changing public patterns of thinking and behavior
and ensuring active citizen participation in the
decision making process.
SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT – EU ACCESSION
 Since 1997, the principles of sustainable development have
occupied a central position in the EU Treaty. In its aspiration for
EU accession, Bulgaria has undertaken to apply these principles
in its overall policy and body of law.
 In this connection, Capacity 21 has been extremely helpful:
 to the Government in approximating the national
legislation with the EU’s,

Experience has shown that local level strategic planning is an essential
governance tool. The support for this process has contributed to making the
national planning process a less arduous task.
The Local Agendas 21, drafted with the input of various NGOs, ensured public
support to the local government policies. The guiding principle of transparency
and cooperation between the government and the public in developing the local
agendas was applied successfully at the regional and central government levels.
In drafting the Local Agendas 21, the local governments were able to develop winwin strategies, resulting in partnerships between the public and private sector,
vertical cooperation within the sectors of the economy, and a better utilization of a
town or region’s economic potential.
The program promoted understanding and stability as the guiding principles to
how different social and ethnic groups interact, by accounting for the factors
governing local social development and aiming to secure a better lifestyle for all
groups, including the disadvantaged.
The program was instrumental in assisting the local communities to write project
proposals that were approved and granted funding by domestic and external
sources.
A major institution, ensuring the successful implementation of the principles of
sustainable development at all levels of governance is the National Sustainable
Development Commission.
