How to Organise Development Work in Eastern Lapland? 10.9.2015 Joint development, forms of organization and resources of the municipalities are, like the rest of the world, in major change. In September-October MDI will make field work in colourful Eastern Lapland and become familiar with the current organisation of co-operation between the municipalities of Kemijärvi, Salla, Savukoski and Pelkosenniemi. MDI will analyse how regional cooperation can be implemented more flexibly and more economically.

The work takes into account regional specificities of Eastern Lapland, the potential for the future, as well as the needs of emerging cooperation between municipalities.
