Focus: Finance and Public Services

Organised by: the African Fund for International Decentralised Cooperation (FACDI).

In a context shaped by climate crises, pressure on public finances, and widening territorial inequalities, this session will explore the strategic role of decentralized cooperation and local finance in promoting inclusive development. Discussions will highlight South-South cooperation mechanisms, particularly through the African Fund for International Decentralized Cooperation (FACDI), as key tools for strengthening territorial capacities and local public services.
