EXECUTIVE SUMMARY 26
United Cities and Local Governments
•
Institutional Capacity Building of African local authorities. The local government associations must learn from each other to improve negotiation procedures with their national governments and follow-up on budget negotiations at the parliamentary level. These exchanges can contribute to the modernization of local financial systems so as to facilitate, in the long-term, access to financial markets and promote citizen participation in budgetary decisions
at the local level. One of the first tasks will be strengthening the ability of local governments and their associations to regularly follow and analyze their finances and financing. UCLGA is currently studying the best way to create a fund that would encourage the strengthening of capacities via the exchange of staff and experts between African local governments.
