and implementation of the Alpine Convention. DYNALP² implements the findings from CIPRA’s Future in the Alps Project" at the community level and promotes exchanges between the municipalities. DYNALP² projects focus on one or more of the following topic areas: regional added value, governance capacity, protected areas, mobility, new forms of decision making, and policies and instruments. DYNALP Launched in 2003, DYNALP was an INTERREG IIIB "Alpine space" project supported by the EU. With a total budget of 2.16 million euros for a period of three years, it helped to fund the development, coordination and implementation of 52 community or regional projects for the following four protocols of the Alpine Convention: Tourism, Conservation of Nature and the Countryside, Mountain Farming and Regional Planning and Sustainable Development. In addition to projects in communes, sharing experiences across borders language and culture was the most important goal of DYNALP. Coopération The "Alliance of Central Asian Mountain Communities" was founded in June 2003 in the Tadjik capital Dushanbe on the model of the "Alliance in the Alps" network. Like its sister organisation in the Alps, this Central Asian community network is active in the area of sustainable development in mountain communities and knowledge-sharing at the community level. With an agenda of mutual visits, excursions and information-exchange, the organisation became as well a platform for good practice and interesting projects.
