1. INTEGRATED LOCAL GOVERNANCE AND
LOCAL DEVELOPMENT FRAMEWORK
Strategy Validation Workshop at Kiev
November 2012

2. Need for LGLD Integration
Challenges
• LGLD is a multi-practice pursuit
• Weak common platform for LGLD at country level
• Accountability for LGLD results is discrete (DP)
• Weak linkage between Global, Regional and Country levels for LGLD activities
• LGLD across practice is uneven, limited and inefficient
• Project-based support aligned to thematic area
• Obvious overlaps, gaps and multiple reporting
Recommendations
• UNDP should be more explicitly and effectively mainstream local governance &
Local development into all its programmatic areas of support
• Have a framework for LGLD grounded in the (Sustainable) Human Development
concept
• All the LGLD initiatives must be targeted for scaling up
• UNDP must pro-actively systematically collate, codify, analyze, distil and
disseminate lessons learned from extensive experience on LGLD
• UNDP must strengthen its partnerships with associate funds and programmes.
