New training offered by the Observatory for Decentralised Cooperation

At this moment concerned about the global pandemic of COVID-19, which is strongly crashing into all the countries of the world, great challenges arise that will define the next decade. The 2030 Agenda with its 17 objectives and decentralized cooperation appear as necessary elements to achieve the necessary sustainable development, but also the recovery of this pandemic.

The Observatory for Decentralised Cooperation is launching a new online training proposal in order to foster the role of local and regional governments as well as strengthening their capacities to develop local public policies focused on the fields of international action and decentralised cooperation, and the implementation of the 2030 Agenda and SDGs.

The online courses is taught simultaneously in different languages and is free for all participants, since the costs are borne by the promoting entities so that this training is available to as many local and regional governments (LRGs) as possible from different parts of the world.

Online trainings are:

• “Localizing the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs): Tools for Local Transformation”. This course is promoted and is carried out jointly with the world organisation of United Cities and Local Governments (UCLG). This training is focused, preferentially, to technical and political decision-makers of local and regional governments, and it is aimed to provide the information and tools necessary for LRGs around the world to address the 2030 Agenda, localising the SDGs and thus achieving a sustainable development in their territories. This course is taught in English, French and Spanish

The pre-registration period for this course ends on September 6.

• Online course on Decentralised Cooperation (14th edition).

Traditional Observatory course carried out with the collaboration of Platforma. It is a specialisation between international relations and cooperation, closely linked to development and local governance. This training is focused preferentially to technical and political decision-makers of local and regional governments and it is designed to adapt to the new reality in international relations, taking into account the increased weighting of relationships of exchange as compared to assistance, in a world in which the so-called north-south divide is becoming increasingly blurred. This course is offered in French and Spanish.

The pre-registration period for this course ends on September 13.
