Regional seminar in Jakarta February 2016
SEMINAR: Territorial Approaches to Local Development:
What does it entail and how can it be fostered in Asian and Pacific countries?
The seminar's three major goals:
- Clarify the concept of Territorial Approach to Local Development as an analytical framework that can be understood as the missing link between decentralization reforms and development outcomes.
- Sharpen the understanding of the participants of the political economy of decentralization reforms (DR) in the region, and the conditions under which the reforms may lead to improved local governance (LG) and genuine local development (LD).
- Recognize the opportunities and constraints that EU delegations may face in promoting Territorial Approach to Local Development (TALD), because of the context in which they operate, the demands of the EU aid management cycle and the aid modalities available to them.
