SUMMARY:Europe & Central Asia Regional Working Group Meeting – April 2026
DESCRIPTION:LPSA’s Regional Working Group on Europe & Central Asia (ECA) aims to bring together government officials\, policy practitioners\, scholars\, civil society organizations\, and citizens who share an interest and expertise on decentralization\, multilevel governance\, intergovernmental relations\, local governance and local development in ECA. \nThe next meeting organized by the ECA Regional Working Group is scheduled to take place on 28 April\, 2026 (10:00 AM NYC\, 3:00 PM UK\, 4:00 PM CEST\, 7:00 PM UZT). Registration for this meeting is required. \nRegister Here!  \n—– \nTopic: Small Municipalities\, Big Ambitions: Assessing Local Capacity for Public-Private Partnerships \nPublic-Private Partnerships (PPPs) have emerged as a prominent instrument for delivering infrastructure and improving public services\, particularly in contexts where fiscal constraints intersect with growing development demands. At the local level\, PPPs are frequently promoted as a means for municipalities to mobilize private capital\, access technical expertise\, and enhance service efficiency\, especially in sectors such as water and sanitation\, waste management\, local transport\, and energy services where infrastructure gaps are most visible. \nIn many countries\, however\, the decentralization of infrastructure responsibilities has not been accompanied by a corresponding transfer of technical expertise or institutional support. As a result\, municipalities are often expected to design\, procure\, and manage complex PPP projects without adequate capacity or guidance\, raising concerns about the effectiveness of existing policy frameworks and the ability of national PPP units\, regulatory systems\, and advisory mechanisms to support local governments and safeguard public interests. \nThis webinar aims to contribute to the ongoing debate on the role and feasibility of PPPs at the local level by focusing specifically on the capacity constraints faced by small and medium-sized municipalities. Rather than assuming PPPs are inherently beneficial\, the discussion will critically examine the conditions under which they can be effectively implemented and the risks associated with their misapplication. \nAgenda: \n\nWelcome & Introduction – Tengiz Sultanishvili | Citizen Engagement Specialist & Co-Chair LPSA ECA Regional Working Group\nUnlocking Local PPP Potential – Practical Experiences from Bosnia and Herzegovina – Goran Štefatić | Project Manager\, Municipal Environmental Governance (MEG) Project\, UNDP\nPPP vs. New Public Goods – Lavinia Steinfort | Programme coordinator\, Public Alternatives Project\, Transnational Institute (TNI)\nPPPs in Georgian Municipalities: Legislative Realities and Collaborative Solutions – Ucha Dzimistarishvili | Partner at Caissa Law\, Academic Assistant at New Vision University\, Georgia.\nPPP: Past\, Presence and Prospects – Gábor Péteri | Economist\, Freelance Consultant\nQ&A – Tengiz Sultanishvili\nClosing Remarks – Tengiz Sultanishvili

SUMMARY:LPSA Expert Working Group on Europe & Central Asia – Open Meeting – November 2025
DESCRIPTION:LPSA’s Expert Working Group (EWG) on Europe & Central Asia (ECA) aims to bring together government officials\, policy practitioners\, scholars\, civil society organizations\, and citizens who share an interest and expertise on decentralization\, multilevel governance\, intergovernmental relations\, local governance and local development in ECA. \nThe next public meeting of the ECA Expert Working Group is scheduled to take place on November 12\, 2025 (10:00 EST/ 15:00 GMT/ 16:00 CET/ 20:00 UZT). \nRegistration is required for this meeting- Register here! \nThe focus of the upcoming meeting will be on: “The Visible Hand: Challenges in the Management of Municipally Owned Enterprises Providing Local Public Services” \nUtility services\, such water and sanitation\, energy and transport\, or waste management and other communal services go through transformation in these years. The former market oriented liberal economic policies of the 1990s resulted transfer of assets and transformation of municipally owned enterprises. Lack of effective regulatory institutions and competition culture often created private monopolies. \nFollowing this period of marketization and corporatisation\, alternative government policies emerged. In some services national government intervened by limiting the ownership rights of local self-governments and municipally owned enterprises lost their privileges to centrally delegated holders of particular functions. Rather than the invisible hand of the market\, it is the will of the state that becomes more detectable. \nThis webinar aims to contribute to the debate on the transformation of local public service management and especially the future status of municipally owned enterprises. \nWe need your help to make this meeting a success: If you have any updates about decentralization or local governance reforms in your country; updates about new research; or information about local government projects that you would like mentioned during the open meeting\, please email the Working Group co-chairs at eca@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.

SUMMARY:LPSA Expert Working Group on Europe & Central Asia – Open Meeting – June 2025
DESCRIPTION:LPSA’s Expert Working Group (EWG) on Europe & Central Asia (ECA) aims to bring together government officials\, policy practitioners\, scholars\, civil society organizations\, and citizens who share an interest and expertise on decentralization\, multilevel governance\, intergovernmental relations\, local governance and local development in ECA. \nThe next public meeting of the ECA Expert Working Group is scheduled to take place on June 11\, 2025 (10:00 EDT/ 15:00 BST/ 16:00 CEST/19:00 UZT).  Registration is required for this meeting. \nRegister here! \nThe focus of the upcoming meeting will be on: Civic Monitoring of Government Programs and Policies \nEnsuring government accountability and the effective\, transparent use of public resources are fundamental pillars of good governance and sustainable development across Europe & Central Asia (ECA). Citizen engagement in overseeing government actions is increasingly vital for strengthening democratic processes\, improving public service delivery\, and ensuring that policies truly benefit the communities they are intended to serve. Active civic monitoring plays a critical role in verifying that state programs achieve their objectives\, public funds are spent wisely\, and local development initiatives align with citizen priorities. \nCitizens and civil society organizations across the ECA region are employing diverse strategies and innovative tools to participate in this oversight. They are key actors in tracking policy implementation\, scrutinizing budget allocations and expenditures\, and evaluating the impact of local projects. \nThis seminar\, hosted by LPSA’s Expert Working Group on Europe & Central Asia\, will delve into the practical dimensions of civic monitoring. It will focus specifically on concrete examples of citizen engagement in monitoring state programs\, budget execution\, and local development initiatives drawn from experiences within the ECA region. The session aims to explore the variety of mechanisms through which citizens and CSOs are holding governments accountable\, from social audits to technology-driven monitoring platforms. By examining these real-world cases\, the seminar will shed light on effective strategies\, identify common obstacles\, and foster discussion on best practices for meaningful citizen participation in governance processes\, ultimately contributing to more responsive and effective public administration and development outcomes in the region. \nWe need your help to make this meeting a success: If you have any updates about decentralization or local governance reforms in your country; updates about new research; or information about local government projects that you would like mentioned during the open meeting\, please email the Working Group co-chairs at eca@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.

SUMMARY:LPSA Expert Working Group on Europe & Central Asia – Open Meeting – December 2024
DESCRIPTION:LPSA’s Expert Working Group (EWG) on Europe & Central Asia (ECA) aims to bring together government officials\, policy practitioners\, scholars\, civil society organizations\, and citizens who share an interest and expertise on decentralization\, multilevel governance\, intergovernmental relations\, local governance and local development in ECA. \nThe next public meeting of the ECA Expert Working Group is scheduled to take place on December 11\, 2024 (10:00 EST/ 15:00 GMT/ 16:00 CET/ 20:00 UZT).  Registration is required for this meeting. \nRegister here! \nThe focus of the upcoming meeting will be on: E-Governance and Digital Transformation in Delivery of Local Public Services \nOne of the most significant developments and impacts to the delivery of local public services has been the application of e-governance and digital tools over the past two decades. The application of these tools has enabled citizens to access these services more easily and feel more connected to their local governments. There are many applications in which these tools have been applied related to the obtaining of important personal documents and the ability to provide input to the local government budget decisions.  The trend is even to more fully develop these tools and to incorporate artificial intelligence to local government decisions. It is important to understand the terminology of the key terms that are applied to these tools.  The following provides some short definitions of these key terms. \nThe World Bank defines e-government as “the use of information and communications technologies by governments to enhance the range and quality of information and services provided to citizens\, businesses\, civil society organizations\, and other government agencies in an efficient\, cost-effective and convenient manner\, making government processes more transparent and accountable and strengthening democracy.” \nThe new terms of digitization and digitalization are often used to describe the latest developments. They are different aspects of the same technology application – digitization refers to the process of converting analog data into a digital format\, while digitalization involves the integration of digital technologies into business operations to optimize processes\, enhance customer experiences\, and drive innovation. \nThis webinar provides an overview of these technology innovations and their use and application in the countries of Central and Eastern Europe. Examples are drawn from countries of the region to highlight the development of e-governance and digitization/digitalization opportunities and challenges of these new methods to providing local public services. \nWe need your help to make this meeting a success: If you have any updates about decentralization or local governance reforms in your country; updates about new research; or information about local government projects that you would like mentioned during the open meeting\, please email the Working Group co-chairs at eca@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.

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.
