TOWARDS a LOCAL GOVERNANCE and DEVELOPMENT AGENDA: LESSONS and CHALLENGES DGP-Net E-Discussion 27 August – 16 October 2007 TOWARDS A LOCAL GOVERNANCE AND DEVELOPMENT AGENDA: LESSONS AND CHALLENGES DGP-NET E-DISCUSSION 27 AUGUST – 16 OCTOBER 2007 TOWARDS A LOCAL GOVERNANCE AND DEVELOPMENT AGENDA: LESSONS AND CHALLENGES DGP-NET E-DISCUSSION 27 AUGUST – 16 OCTOBER 2007 TOWARDS A LOCAL GOVERNANCE AND DEVELOPMENT AGENDA: LESSONS AND CHALLENGES DGP-NET E-DISCUSSION 27 AUGUST – 16 OCTOBER 2007 December 2007 E-Discussions and the Process E-Discussions are time bound electronic discussions designed to facilitate dialogue and debate on timely issues relevant to the practice. E-discussions allow members of the Democratic Governance community of practice to pro-actively address topics that present challenges or opportunities to the practice, identify UNDP strategic niches and ground ‘practice agenda setting’ documents or events in country level experience. An e-discussion can serve as an effective tool to complement other means via which community members communicate, and their extended duration allows a deeper level of reflection and learning on the subjects discussed. In reality, thematic e-discussion on the Democratic Governance Practice Network (DGP-Net) acts as virtual ‘policy forum’ for the democratic governance practitioners. About the DGP-Net E-discussion Process The process of identifying DGP-Net e-discussion themes for 2007 started with an analysis of queries and consolidated replies posted during 2006 in the DGP-Net. The analysis identified knowledge gaps and members’ demand. The analysis was followed by a Virtual Focus Group Discussion (December 2006-January 2007) with the active participation of 20 top contributors to the network in 2006. The VFGD provided critical inputs in refining the 2007 e-discussion priorities identified through the network analysis. A brief assessment of past e-discussions and knowledge products across the Practice also informed the process. The identified themes were subsequently put to a vote in the network “priority poll” to assess further interest, share information, and ensure community ownership of the process. The DGP-Net priority poll identified local governance and decentralisation as one of the priority themes to be discussed in the DGP-Net in 2007. 4 E -D ISCUSSIO N Table of Contents 1.

INTRODUCTORY NOTE 6 E -D ISCUSSIO N 1. Introductory Note This document represents the compilation of the most participatory E-discussion in UNDP networks since their establishment in 1998. The Democratic Governance Practice Network received 153 substantive contributions over a period of two months. The contributes embody opinions of colleagues from UNCDF, UNDP, UNFPA, UN-HABITAT and UNICEF; from the networks of the United Cities and Local Government (UCLG) – the largest association of cities, local and regional authorities; but also regional banks, research institutes, universities and NGOs from several continents in the South and in the North. The variety and content of the contributions, as well as the number of countries to which they have referred to, reflect the importance and relevance of local governance and decentralization both as a broad thematic area and, a substantive development process. They benefited from the active participation of all those involved with international development, poverty reduction and the improvement of democratic practices with appropriate level of regional and local settings. This E-discussion is also representing an unprecedented effort of interagency coordination and collaboration. Although promoted and hosted from the UNDP Bureau for Development Policy, this forum was organized and implemented together with the participation of colleagues from UNCDF, UN-HABITAT and UCLG. The diverse experiences have served together with other parallel processes to prompt the establishment of an inter-agency knowledge sharing and networking platform for the exchange of knowledge on local development and local governance. This (DGPNet-Local) will be launched in 2008, hosted by UNDP/BDP in close coordination and collaboration with the Democratic Governance Practice Network (DGP-Net). In preparing this material all efforts have been made to keep the originality of text of the messages as we received it. Minor editorial changes have been made to ensure consistency, however, not at the cost of diversity! The document is prepared in a PDF format with hyperlinks that facilitate electronic navigation. Several electronic links in the text will lead to archives within the UNDP intranet, accessible only to UNDP staff. We do apologies for this limitation. However, many of the linkages included in the text do also lead to webpages in the public domain, and, they will be accessible to all.

E-DISCUSSION PRE-LAUNCH MESSAGE 8 E -D ISCUSSIO N 2. E-Discussion Pre-Launch Message Olav Kjorven and Richard Weingarten, UNDP and UNCDF 20 August Dear Colleagues, As you may recall, earlier this year, members of the UNDP Democratic Governance Practice Network (DGP-Net) selected “Local Governance and Decentralization” as a priority theme for network e-discussion proposals in 2007. Within this framework, and in response to a growing demand to strengthen the agenda for action on local governance, an online eDiscussion is being organised for colleagues and practitioners to exchange views on ideas, proposals and challenges. Your contributions, discussions and hopefully lively debates will provide critical inputs for the identification of key areas of demand, challenges, and frontiers that are needed to explore and to improve the effectiveness of UNDP and UNCDF in strengthening local governance, promoting local development, and supporting decentralization efforts in programme countries. We will be looking for the experiences, views and strategies of our network members and some selected external experts. The debate will focus on how UN agencies can better support national and local governments in the improvement of local governance, and the promotion of local development. The eDiscussion intends to pro-actively address, through the DGP-Net, topics related to local governance that present challenges and/or opportunities to UNDP staff/ practitioners in the field. We also hope to identify strategic niches for UNDP, UNCDF and the UN System at large by taking stock and laying the ground for further discussions in a community of practice setting. The eDiscussion, “Towards a Local Governance and Development Agenda - Lessons and Challenges” will begin Monday morning, 27 August and will end on Monday, 17 September 2007. It will be moderated jointly by the following team: • Mr. Rafael Tuts, Chief, Training and Capacity Building Branch, UN-HABITAT • Ms. Emilia Saiz, Director of Statutory Issues and Institutional Relations, UCLG • Mr. Kadmiel Wekwete, Director of Local Development, UNCDF • Mr. Monjurul Kabir, Knowledge Network (DGP-Net) Facilitator for Democratic Governance, BDP/UNDP. • Mr. Lenni Montiel, Senior Policy Advisor. Democratic Governance Group, BDP/UNDP The details of the e-discussion will be available next week from the team of the moderators and the DGP-Net facilitator. We look forward to a vibrant and rich discussion that will enable us to improve our programmes, respond to your concerns, and most importantly, better serve our programme countries.

  • MARCH 27-29, 2006 1. Some 200 Participants Representing 25 North
    WORKSHOP ON THE PARIS DECLARATION: IMPLICATIONS AND IMPLEMENTATION BAMAKO, MALI MARCH 27-29, 2006 1. Some 200 participants representing 25 North, Central, and West African countries and their development partners met in Bamako to examine the Paris Declaration and its implications for them in their particular circumstances, and discuss ways to enhance its implementation. The workshop was hosted by the Government of Mali and sponsored by the African Development Bank, the World Bank, the Government of France, and the United Nations Development Programme, in collaboration with the Development Assistance Committee of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD-DAC) and its members. Of the countries represented, some had already begun implementing harmonization, alignment, and managing for results (HAMfR) activities, while others were relatively new to the agenda. 2. The agenda was carefully designed to focus on lessons learned, experiences, and the concrete implications of the Paris Declaration. The objectives were to take a closer look at the Paris commitments, focusing particularly on their application to country and country-level donor institutions, policies, procedures, and systems; to facilitate open discussion and exchange of views among partner countries and donors on aid effectiveness issues; and to lay the groundwork for cross-country sharing and a community of practice to continually exchange experiences. Presentations in the plenary sessions set the stage for this work, but much of the specific discussion was carried out in smaller group sessions. In the final session, in line with the outcome orientation of this workshop, partner country representatives shared with the group their plans for HAMfR activities on their return home from Bamako.

  • Local Governance and Decentralization: Programme Experiences and Views from the Field
    Foreword One of the main roles of the UN Development Programme (UNDP) is to provide knowledge, policy advice, advocacy guidance and technical support in the field of democratic governance. As part of UNDP, the Bureau for Development Policy, through the Democratic Governance Group, is focused on strengthening linkages among international democratic governance principles, related global discussions, and UNDP operational activities at the national and local levels. The current efforts of UNDP are oriented around supporting the most effective public institutions and ownership at all levels, and assisting the design and implementation of policies and programmes that can contribute to sustainable human development, the achievement of the Millennium Devel- opment Goals (MDGs) and the reduction of inequality. The success of these actions depends largely on the quality of national and local governance. Local governance is the first pillar of this publication. It comprises the systems of values, policies and institutions at the local level by which a society organizes collective decision-making and action re- lated to political, economic, socio-cultural and environmental affairs, through the interaction of local public institutions, civil society and the private sector. Good local governance includes respect for human rights, inclusive participation, administrative and bureaucratic capacity and efficiency, and accountable and responsive governing institutions. The second pillar of this publication, decentralization, is a political as well as a technical

The first edition of the Choiseul Africa Business Forum, the annual meeting dedicated to business opportunities in Africa and with Africa, was held in Nice in early October. Organized by the Institut Choiseul in collaboration with the Nice Côte d’Azur Metropolis, the City of Nice and several first-order institutional and economic partners, this platform brought together in an interactive manner some 585 African and European leaders that count among the most influent of both continents. Coming from over 50 countries, they were able to attend some twenty working sessions focusing on key issues that drive African growth. A word from the President: Ambition, audacity, excellence. Now more than ever, these words preside over the actions of the African and European leaders that the Institut Choiseul has gathered together for the first edition of theChoiseul Africa Business Forum. Friendship between Africa and Europe was forged by their past and their brotherhood will be realized by their future, thanks to this cultural proximity from which we are yet to make the most of, and to the synergies that we are yet to jointly develop.
