Founded in 2006, DAFNI aims to strengthen local island governance and help islands embrace the sustainable development paradigm through the integrated management of natural resources and infrastructure, the uptake of sustainable tourism and the enhanced interdependence of the primary, secondary and tertiary sectors. DAFNI Network counts 56 members, including 52 island municipalities and the Regions of North Aegean, South Aegean, Ionian Islands and the Regional Union of Municipalities of the Ionian Islands. Thanks to its systematic and multifaceted action and the range of partnerships it has developed, DAFNI Network is recognized as a true ally of the islands, both on a national and European level. This is because it boasts excellent scientific and technical training, deep knowledge of the local needs and development dynamics of the islands, as well as dedication, over time, to the implementation of integrated solutions that address the identified needs of each island separately.
