NORAD provides funds for Municipal International Cooperation (MIC) and uses KS as a coordinator through entering into an agreement for MIC. Through the agreement it is stated that KS shall ensure support to the involved municipalities through facilitation of capacity building, exchange of experience between the involved partnerships and quality control in order to secure that the projects of the supported municipalities follow the priorities of the Norwegian Parliament, the policies of NORAD and the conditions set in the MIC program agreement.
The very concept of municipal cooperation is based on the idea of sharing information and mutual learning.
KS wants to support the Norwegian municipalities as our members in their international cooperation endeavour. The vision of KS is a strong and efficient local government sector that addresses the needs of the citizens.
