Belgium – Coaching services – Begeleiden van gemeentelijke diensten in functie van het versterken van het bomenbeleid van de gemeenten die deelnemen aan het project ‘Klimaatbomen in Limburg 2.0’

The contract consists of guiding municipal services of the participating municipalities, with a focus on systematic work around climate trees, climate-resilient planting sites, planting the right tree in the right place, and preserving and protecting mature trees as valuable elements of the infrastructure. This is done through tailored advice (individually per municipality or in small groups of municipalities with similar needs or questions), developing and providing training and education. As part of the guidance, the contractor, where necessary, develops frameworks/tools/guidelines and introduces these to the municipalities. If necessary, the municipalities are also supported in the use of GIS applications and relevant technologies. The contractor proactively approaches the target group. This starts with actively mapping the specific needs and requirements and determining the right priorities. Based on this inventory, the contractor develops the most effective solutions and a support strategy for each municipality, or group of municipalities. Subsequently, the contractor directs and guides the actual implementation so that the solutions are structurally integrated into the municipal tree policy and within the municipal policy domains involved. The described approach takes place in close consultation with the contracting authority, among other things, through monthly consultations.
