SUMMARY:LPSA Thematic Working Group on Local Democracy & Inclusive Governance - Open Meeting - November 2024
DESCRIPTION:LPSA’s Thematic Working Group on Local Democracy\, Inclusive Governance and Community-led Development aims to bring together government officials\, policy practitioners\, scholars\, civil society organizations\, and citizens who share an interest and expertise on local democracy\, inclusive governance\, and community-led development.  \nThe next public meeting of the Local Democracy\, Inclusive Governance and Community-led Development will be held on Thursday\, November 7\, 2024\, at 8:00 AM ET; 1:00 PM London; 2:00 PM Berlin; 3:00 PM Johannesburg; 4:00 PM Nairobi; 6:30 PM New Delhi; 8:00 PM Bangkok. Registration is required for this meeting. \nRegister here!   \nThe topic of the upcoming working group discussion is Participatory Local Governance: Frameworks\, Insights and Strategic Pathways. Good governance requires a four-way partnership – elected representation\, an engaged civil society\, involvement of the private sector\, and effective public sector staff – operating in a policy environment of resource sufficiency\, subsidiarity\, and social accountability. In the global development community\, we are at a moment when “localization” is a hot topic in two very separate tracks: the “decentralization / local government” track and the “external funder / civil society tracks”\, with no apparent effort to bring them together despite “ecosystem” rhetoric. Is linking these two tracks important and should we be working on that? Can we create a shared understanding of the state of participatory local democracy\, an analytic framework for it\, and possible strategic opportunities for LPSA to improve it? \nWe need your help to make this meeting a success: If you have any updates about local Democracy\, Inclusive Governance and Community-led Development in your country; updates about new research that you would like mentioned during the open meeting\, please email the Working Group co-chairs at localdem@decentralization.net so that a brief announcement can be made at the beginning of the meeting.   \nReminder: You can join any LPSA Expert Working Group free of cost and receive reminders and updates by opting-in to one or more working groups as part of your LPSA Membership registration.
