1 Programme Descript European Commission s Asia Urbs Program The Asia Urbs Programme was launched by the European Union in 1998 as an initiative to decentralize (city-to-city) co-operation; to bring together local governments from the Member States and 17 countries in South/south East Asia and China. Its main aim is to support the sharing of know-how in urban development between the two regions and to translate this into practical action involving local governments and their civil society partners. Each co-funded project relies on community participation for its success and sustainability. Grants are awarded to partnerships, formed by at least two local governments form the EU and at least one in Asia, to jointly undertake feasibility studies (Study Projects) or two-year pilot projects (Development or Information sharing Projects) addressing key urban area. The European Union is committed to sharing its achievements and its values with countries and peoples beyond it borders. ecobudget ecobudget is a tool for local authorities to predict, plan, control, monitor and report the use of natural resources. ecobudget program was developed by ICLEI. ICLEI-Local Governments for Sustainability is a worldwide movement of local governments and their associations working to achieve tangible improvements in global environmental and sustainable development conditions. The concept of ecobudget is on the lines of local financial budgeting, adopting the idea of an annual budget as spending framework, with the budget approved by the political decision making body. It is conceived in conscious imitation of the financial budgeting procedure and applies with a periodic management cycle. It does not aim to give a monetary evaluation of the environment, but through the use of environmental indicators it aspires to keep the environmental spending within the limits of the environmental budget. The environmental budget contains targets oriented towards the sustainable management of environmental resources. The first ecobudget model was created as early as the mid 80 s and has already been successfully implemented in 9 European local authorities. The methodology involves the Council to pass a resolution to implement the environmental budget, making the targets politically binding. Political decision-makers and senior urban managers are systematically and periodically involved in the ecobudget cycle. It focuses on all environmental media, all the environmental effects (both caused by local activities and by global trends) and concerns the entire community (local government, industry, households, education institutions, transport, etc). ecobudget reinforces the similarity to the financial budgeting process so that environmental budgeting becomes as much a part of local authority activities as financial budgeting. The familiarity of the procedure means local decision-makers, and not just another system for the environmental department can embrace it. Guntur, the first South Asia ecobudget City Being the first and only chosen South Asian City to implement ecobudget concept Guntur Municipal Corporation (GMC), Guntur (India) is very proud to join the ecobudget family in association with International Council for Local Environmental Initiatives (ICLEI).
