Summary

This event will bring together local governments and their partners such as governments representatives, UN Agencies, international and national financial institutions, private investors, rating agencies and foundations to exchange and share their practices and experiences on innovative financial strategies addressed to local governments.

It aims at identifying the opportunities to inspire and develop innovative models in LDCs contexts gathering different potential partners, in a moment where member states are gathering in Addis to discuss the future financial framework of the world’s development agenda, willing to remind the international community than all development is local, and as such, all levels of government share the responsibility to serve the citizen and need to be enabled to do so. Local financing is critical for inclusive and equitable growth and needs to be considered as part of the global discourse on Financing for Development.
