Training: Fiscal Decentralisation and Local Finance

The Hague Academy for Local Governance is accepting applications for its in-person Fiscal Decentralisation and Local Finance.

This course is designed for professionals working on (fiscal) decentralisation processes, public sector reform programmes, public service delivery or public financial management. Participants come from national, regional and local governments as well as from donor and development organisations.

In this course, we will discuss the assignment of expenditure responsibilities to local authorities, intergovernmental transfers and local revenue sources. Moreover, we will address principles of financial accountability and transparency, and exchange examples of inclusive and participatory budgeting. Finally, we will zoom in on financial management at local level and local tax systems.

The course will take place in The Hague, Netherlands, from 26 June 2024 to 9 July 2024. 

The course fee is € 3,595. This includes all training related costs as well as drinks and warm lunches during the training days. Group discounts are available if you participate with three or more colleagues.
