On 22nd July 2020 EUSDR National Coordinators endorsed a jointly elaborated document which clarifies roles, responsibilities and interdependencies of EUSDR key stakeholders – the EUSDR Governance Architecture Paper. The drafting of the document was initiated by the Croatian EUSDR Presidency with support of the Danube Strategy Point in November 2019 and underwent several rounds of revision among EUSDR National Coordinators. The aim of the paper is to…

• improve coordination and cooperation to further enhance the commitment to the Strategy and its effective implementation
• and to support the development of necessary administrative capacity to make sure that political commitment translates into effective implementation of the EUSDR.

In this sense, the paper provides a sound common basis for further and improved communication, organisation and implementation of the EUSDR.
