The Governorate of Mugla European Union and Foreign Relations Office

The European Union and Foreign Relations Office is one of the sub-units of the Governorate of Mugla. The office was established in 2008 with the aim of making the province of Mugla to take part in the projects using EU funds in the process of our country’s accession to the E.U; providing the development of these projects both in quantitative and qualitative respects; sharing knowledge, experience and technologies between our province and EU member cities; following the latest developments in public administration and civil society and thus transferring a European aspect to our province; helping the public bodies, non-governmental organizations and municipalities find project partners and providing technical assistance with the problems encountered in the process of project preparation. Although the governorate itself is an extensive center, our unit is a relatively small unit with three staff reporting directly to a deputy governor, which gives us flexibility, agility and initiative when compared to the other units under the governorate that are administered with wide hierarchical structures. governance is the field of expertise for the managerial staff at the governorate and they have all the necessary experience and knowledge in the field of public administration. The governorates serve in the field of public administration in the light of the laws, which gives these institutions a more reliable aspect from the formal point of view.
