The document discusses the CEMSDI project which aims to empower local authorities through digital inclusion and a Digital Local Agenda (DLA). The DLA is a process, policy, and monitoring tool to implement eGovernment strategies. Pilots are running in 5 countries to test the DLA approach through capacity building workshops. The workshops target elected representatives, directors, and civil servants to modernize public services and reduce the digital divide. The Italian pilot identified 8 regions for training and the program includes two levels of attendees. The training covers document management, cooperation, and communication to support the DLA planning and implementation.

Problems and Proposed Solution Actual problems: Administrations in local areas provide 70% of public services for citizens and enterprises and represent the largest majority of the 90,000 local and regional governments in the European Union citizens living in non-metropolitan areas are far more likely to suffer from digital deprivation which in turn can create socially disadvantaged groups there is a high requirement for ICT services in local administrations to assist with the dissemination of best practice into rurally isolated areas due to socio-economic, cultural and language barriers Proposed solution: to use ICT as an enabler and a powerful instrument to implement improved public and local services which tackle social and digital inclusion, and aim to leave no individual behind.
