GPI

At the end of November, delegations from all around the world gathered in Nairobi for the second High Level Meeting (HLM-2) of the Global Partnership for Effective Development Cooperation (GPEDC). The adoption of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development stood central in Nairobi, as it demands for a review and renewal of the development effectiveness agenda. UCLG was also present at this high profile event, to underline among other that the success of the Sustainable Development Gaoals depends on whether they will be carried out correctly, namely at the local level.
