The report was a basis for discussion at a recent regional EU seminar, facilitated by ECDPM, bringing together EU Delegations, local authorities and key experts from the region to reflect on EC support to decentralisation processes in the region. The report recommends that the EU should make flexible use of its funding modalities in order to use decentralisation as a means towards better local development outcomes. new_dpir_team development_policy policy_news new_at_ECDPM new_governance_team dpir local_governance_decentralisation governance eu_development_effectiveness Tue, 23 Jul 2013 05:23:51 +0000 http://del.icio.us/url/3a0abb5d9d67da71a7b97c353e96d108#cotonou_online http://ue.eu.int/uedocs/cms_data/docs/pressdata/EN/foraff/138243.pdf http://del.icio.us/url/3a0abb5d9d67da71a7b97c353e96d108 http://feeds.del.icio.us/v2/rss/url/3a0abb5d9d67da71a7b97c353e96d108 cotonou_online's links policy_news local_governance_decentralisation governance Tue, 09 Jul 2013 01:27:33 +0000 http://del.icio.us/url/0d6e65502a3b689541702056e95888e1#cotonou_online http://www.odi.org.uk/opinion/7578-local-capacity-localising-aid-ngos-donors-hiv-aids?utm_source=ODI_Update&utm_medium=feed http://del.icio.us/url/0d6e65502a3b689541702056e95888e1 http://feeds.del.icio.us/v2/rss/url/0d6e65502a3b689541702056e95888e1 cotonou_online's links Overly strict financial management and reporting requirements from donors poorly adapted to local contexts may to some degree help sustain and justify the role of international actors. If these requirements were better adapted to local contexts then this role would be less critical and there would be more space for gradually allowing local actors to lead development interventions supported by aid. And there seemed to be little strategic analysis and decision-making as to whether international or local actors should be used to support NGOs, beyond focusing on who will deliver the required results in the timeframe of the project and can effectively handle the funding requirements. If donors are to build on, develop and help sustain local capacity successfully, they need to understand better where gaps in local capacity exist, to target suitable support in those areas, and to gradually nurture local organisations to take greater leadership of the interventions that they support. policy_news governance local_governance_decentralisation Fri, 05 Jul 2013 02:59:10 +0000 http://del.icio.us/url/2f43b31a64e36856f44f106dc4cfb241#cotonou_online http://www.guardian.co.uk/global-development/poverty-matters/2013/jun/21/should-foreign-aid-spent-locally?utm_source=ODI_Update&utm_medium=feed http://del.icio.us/url/2f43b31a64e36856f44f106dc4cfb241 http://feeds.del.icio.us/v2/rss/url/2f43b31a64e36856f44f106dc4cfb241 cotonou_online's links Is giving aid to institutions in recipient countries riskier than handing cash to international NGOs and companies? policy_news local_governance_decentralisation governance Sun, 30 Jun 2013 06:06:53 +0000 http://del.icio.us/url/6a98b47e00964daa8c4a5f115d7f5e03#cotonou_online http://us1.campaign-archive2.com/?u=f3098f0aa17cc73cc4c42bc9b&id=d4135926b8 http://del.icio.us/url/6a98b47e00964daa8c4a5f115d7f5e03 http://feeds.del.icio.us/v2/rss/url/6a98b47e00964daa8c4a5f115d7f5e03 cotonou_online's links Editor’s Pick: EEAS review and development: yet another EU coordination challenge?

To do this, the European Commission is conducting regional seminars with EU delegations. The first took place in June in Quito. ECDPM’s Jean Bossuyt facilitated the meeting and explains in our Talking Points blog that many powers oppose the emergence of strong and effective local authorities. The challenge for donors, he says, is to be an ally of these reformist forces at local level in order to empower them to pursue their positive role in the delivery of development and governance outcomes. new_dpir_team policy_news new_at_ECDPM new_governance_team governance local_governance_decentralisation Fri, 28 Jun 2013 11:36:55 +0000 http://del.icio.us/url/59206aee3242557b52645bc300d39d2f#cotonou_online http://blog-pfm.imf.org/pfmblog/2013/06/the-rising-risks-of-local-government-finances-in-africa.html?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+pfmblog+%28PFM+blog%29&utm_content=Google+Reader http://del.icio.us/url/59206aee3242557b52645bc300d39d2f http://feeds.del.icio.us/v2/rss/url/59206aee3242557b52645bc300d39d2f cotonou_online's links policy_news local_governance_decentralisation governance Fri, 21 Jun 2013 10:01:35 +0000 http://del.icio.us/url/e37eab218fd89c5e56883f4eb6bbcd0e#cotonou_online http://www.ids.ac.uk/publication/innovative-thinking-and-practice-in-local-governance?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+IDS_only_publications+%28IDS+Only+Publications+Feed%29 http://del.icio.us/url/e37eab218fd89c5e56883f4eb6bbcd0e http://feeds.del.icio.us/v2/rss/url/e37eab218fd89c5e56883f4eb6bbcd0e cotonou_online's links The outline of research papers contained in this overview is an effort to identify knowledge gaps, propose practical approaches, and scan new horizons that enhance development thinking and practice.
