Inclusive Service Delivery & the SDGs

Local public services, including drinking water, sanitation, waste management and basic health care, have a huge impact on our daily lives and well-being. Unfortunately, the poor often lack access to these important services. In this regard, local governments have a huge potential in improving the living conditions of the poor.  In this two-week course questions will be addressed such as: How can you ensure that basic services also reach the poorest people? How can the financial management of services be set up in a transparent and democratic way? How can partnerships with NGOs and the private sector help local governments to better deal with challenges? The course equips you with a number of practical and analytical tools and brings you new ideas to conceive and implement inclusive policies and projects on pro-poor local service delivery.
