Evaluation summary of the COGITO project

In a context of increasing pressures on natural resources in the Mediterranean, the COGITO project aimed in particular to demonstrate that through consolidating processes and actions on pilot sites in a number of countries in the South and East of the Mediterranean (Albania, Algeria, Libya, Morocco, Tunisia and Turkey), co-management by local actors could contribute to the building of integrated and sustainable forms of regional governance encompassing islands, coastlines and the sea.
