FCM’s Municipal Partners for Economic Development

FCM’s Municipal Partners for Economic Development (MPED) program aims to help deliver more effective services that advance local economic development in Vietnam, Cambodia, Mali, Burkina Faso, Tanzania, Nicaragua and Bolivia.  As the program comes to a close, the program developed a  compendium that gathers 25 local government initiatives to support LED leadership. Each case study examines how overseas partners from Africa, Asia and Latin America worked together with Canadian peers to develop their skills through demonstration projects. The compendium completes a comprehensive set of good practices and success stories that were developed earlier this year to help local governments learn from and replicate LED models and practices.
