Abstract

In 2008-2009, the Federation of Canadian Municipalities and the Capacity and Institution Building Working Group (CIB) of United Cities and Local Governments (UCLG) led the development of a UCLG Position Paper on Aid Effectiveness and Local Government. The position paper was adopted unanimously by UCLG World Council members at their annual meeting in Guanghzou, China in November 2009. It seeks to give voice to the local government perspective in the continuing deliberations on aid effectiveness. The paper also provides specific policy recommendations for the international donor community, national governments and local governments themselves geared towards better incorporating local governments into the design and delivery of development programs and processes.
