abstract: Municipalities have a role towards citizens' initiatives, despite governments are retreating. This role can be either facilitative or supportive. Therefore, a best practice model has been constructed: the CRIMP model. The five pillars are about capacity building, recognition, invest in networks, mobilise and procedures. Each of them includes facilitative actions which can be taken by municipalities. Based on semi-structured interviews and policy analysis it is analyzed how six municipalities in the province of Groningen facilitate towards sustainable citizens' initiatives in their municipal boundaries. Although the model cannot be applied one-on-one to each citizens' initiative because they have different needs, it can be regarded as a useful assessment model to identify the possible needs of citizens. Therefore, it serves as a guideline for municipalities. It was concluded that municipalities need to have more awareness of the energy transition to better facilitate citizens' initiatives and to effectively contribute to the energy transition.
