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 process. Effective decentralization brings decision-making closer to citizens, and can yield programmes and services that better address local needs and demands. I am glad to present this publication, Local Governance and Decentralization: Programme Experiences i and Views from the Field, which results from widespread participation in a UNDP network discussion entitled “Towards a Local Governance and Development Agenda: Lessons and Challenges.” More than 150 UNDP local governance practitioners, together with colleagues from the UN Capital Development Fund (UNCDF), United Cities and Local Governments (UCLG), the UN Human Settlements Programme (UN-HABITAT), and experts from other international organizations and research institutes, took part in this global discussion at the end of 2007. It broke previous records for participation for UNDP e-discus- sions, and it made possible the production of this publication, which offers the opportunity to think about the relationships, experiences and challenges in local governance and decentralization that are relevant to our work. Local Governance and Decentralization: Programme Experiences and Views from the Field aims to sum- marize and disseminate this interesting e-discussion, and to link people, knowledge products and projects related to these relevant topics, from the local to the global area and vice versa. I hope that it will be useful to a broad audience. Its views, approaches and strategies should contribute to current debates, and lead to more effective support from UNDP, UNCDF and UN-HABITAT in helping societ- ies attain high-quality local governance. Good local governance must be the main vehicle to reach social inclusion, the reduction of inequality and sustainable human development at the local level. Olav Kjorven Assistant Secretary-General and Director, Bureau for Development Policy, UNDP Acknowledgements This publication would not have been possible without the willingness of individuals participating in the 2007 UNDP network discussion, “Towards a Local Governance and Development Agenda: Les- sons and Challenges,” to present often detailed responses to questions posed by the moderators (see list of contributors on page iii). The discussion moderators played essential roles, namely, Rafael Tuts, Chief of the Training and Ca- pacity Building Branch at UN-HABITAT; Emilia Saiz, Director of Statutory Issues and Institutional Rela- tions at UCLG; Mr. Kadmiel Wekwete, Director of Local Development at UNCDF; Lenni Montiel, Senior Policy Advisor in the Democratic Governance Group at UNDP; and Monjurul Kabir, Knowledge Net- work Facilitator for Democratic Governance at UNDP. Their contributions are appreciated. This document has benefited also from comments and suggestions of many other colleagues.

  • 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.

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.
