Strengthening sub-national governance for poverty reduction: innovations and impact
11 September 2008
Overseas Development Institute (ODI)
Part of the ODI Meeting Series – Lessons from Latin America
Thursday 11 September, 10:00 - 17:00
ODI, 111 Westminster Bridge Road, London SE1 7JD
A growing body of evidence suggests that in the global fight against poverty, governance matters. Good governance at the sub-national and urban level is proving vital to progress towards poverty reduction goals. Local governments from Latin America and other regions are uniquely poised to address critical challenges, from improving the delivery of basic services to enabling greater civic participation. Based on the many changes that the region has undergone over the past few decades, Latin America is a rich laboratory of experimentation from which other areas in the developing world can draw lessons.
This Conference seeks to highlight the strategic and practical experiences, best practice, and lessons learned by prominent national organizations and international development agencies in promoting more effective and impactful sub-national governance aimed at reducing extreme poverty and inequality. Experiences from Latin America will be featured –with an exploration of their relevance in other parts of the developing world.
