Slide1

GOLD – Global Observatory on Local Democracy and Decentralization

The Localization of the SDGs – Monitoring and Review

Slide2

As advocated by LRGs during the last years, the ambitious goals of the global development agendas could only be achieved with

the involvement of empowered local governments.

In the

Bogotá Commitment

– the main political output of UCLG’s World Congress in 2016 –

LRGs expressed

their political will to turn these global goals into reality in towns, cities and territories.

However, the involvement of LRGs in the implementation of these agendas is still limited: unless they are properly mobilised and empowered -via awareness-rising, supportive institutional frameworks, adequate

funding

and inclusive knowledge exchange

-, the global development goals will not be met.

For UCLG

,

Localizing the SDGs has become the thread that ties advocacy, learning, implementation and monitoring together

Localization

as a

strategic

framework

from

agreement

to

practice

Slide3

UCLG is developing

several channels to understand and analyse the role of LRGs in the process of implementation

, while also

offering visibility and support

to the achievements and the efforts of LRGs worldwide

One of the main channels is

to contribute to the monitoring and reporting processes on the SDGs and the other global

agendas. UCLG and the GTF are taking part in the UN High-Level Policy Forum yearly meetings, providing the point of view of LRGs in the implementation process and emphasizing cases of cooperation between local, national

governments and international institutions.

The first report

, presented

with the collaboration of CIB in

New York in July 2017,

analysed the progress in the involvement of LRGs and their participation in coordination mechanisms in the 65 countries that reported to the HLPF in 2016 and 2017. The

GOLD’s mission for the coming

years will be to ensure the follow-up of the localization efforts.

Supporting

and

assessing

LRGs

in

the

Localization

process

Slide4

The 1st report shows that in several countries the

LRGs are integrating the SDGs in their strategies, local plans and daily initiatives

. Nevertheless,

progress is very uneven

, and the challenges are very diverse

National governments have

involved LRGs in the review processes

in only 58%

of analysed countries

and

44% in coordination and follow-up mechanisms

that allow them to take part in policy and decision-making

Top-down approaches continue to dominate

, but change is at reach via enhanced awareness-raising, stronger multi-level governance framework, and policy dialogueStronger efforts are needed to involve LRGs in the VNR consultation processes and in the new institutional frameworks for SDGs implementation and follow-up

and to have a seat for LRGs in the Global Table

Slide6

To address the Localization of the global goals,

UCLG

will strengthen its learning agenda and use the GOLD V report

,

to collect the experience and analyse

the practices of LRGs, national associations, UCLG’s sections and committees for localization,

with the support of expert groups and partners.

It will also assess the emergence of adequate ‘enabling policy environments’ for local and regional governments to act and contribute to the localization of the global goals

It will help develop

country fact sheets

providing an effective overview of the

institutional, political and financial situation

for the localization process in more than 100 countries

UCLG, the GTF and their partners will keep on fostering first-hand information and knowledge exchange among LRGs to participate in the HLPF assessments in 2018 and 2019

AS EXPERIMENTED FOR THE 1

ST

REPORT PRESENTED IN 2017, A CLOSER COLLABORATION WITH LGAs, UCLG’s SECTIONS AND COMMITTEES IS NEEDED

Next

steps

for

Localization

:

learning

and

reporting

Slide7

Next

steps

for

Localization

: a closer

involvement

of

LGAs

and UCLG

sections

Methodology

to develop the contents – Options: surveys / questionnaires for LGAs, interviews for mayors, presentation of good practices and case analysis, country profiles… Other options?

Tasks

:

LGAs

answer questionnaire & help collecting

key information and practices

;

Regional sections and CIB

manage questionnaires, mayors interviews and identify regional practices.

UCLG Committees

contribute with good practices and mayors

interviews. They are associate to the different phases of the process (and validate regional drafts)

Schedule

: June 2018 -

2

nd

preliminary report

(

48

countries); June 2019 –

Global report

(around 120-130 countries). 2018:

Country profiles

for GOLD & the Global Observatory on Subnational Governments Finance.

Support

: Regional experts and World secretariat consolidate

country

profiles

(e.g. to contribute to regional assessments in Africa and ASPAC),

consolidate

the analysis at regional level in the GOLD V Report,

and prepare a

global summary to be presented to the HLPF
