I. Session Objectives
The
primary focus of the Local Governance and Partnership Forum is to explore
methods, challenges, and opportunities to foster partnerships between NRIs, NGOs,
LRGs, local and regional authorities, and NGMs to share their respective
expertise and develop practical policies for SDG localization.
II.
Background
Promoting
effective governance for the SDGs at the local level can significantly
contribute to a country’s achievement of the Global Goals as local governments
are better placed to respond to people’s needs. Effective local governance can
greatly benefit from collaborative networks among national research
institutions, non-governmental organizations, local and regional governments,
and national government ministries since they can help to enhance sound
policymaking. Collaborative networks can provide insights and experiences from
different local contexts, including on development capacities, and human and
natural resources across the metropolitan cities, small- and medium-sized
cities, rural and island areas. Thus, differences in social, economic, and
environmental characteristics influence practical steps towards the SDG.
Establishing
a stable and integrated relationship between NRIs, NGOs, LRGs, and NGMs is
particularly crucial to develop practical policies. NRIs generate innovative
insights into local practice by providing policy advice. NGOs promote active
practices in local community. LRGs can then translate these policies into
practice by taking into account the capacities, resources, and tools available
in these areas. The role of national government ministries is essential in
bridging the NRIs and LRGs for them to translate SDGs localization into
practice.
The
“Local Governance and Partnership Forum” is being organized for NRIs, NGOs, LRGs,
working-level government officials and practitioners from developing countries
in the Asia and beyond to share their knowledge and country experiences on the
topic, and for them to devise practical on-ground solutions.

Session Format
Round Table Discussion on Promoting Effective
Local Governance and Partnership (10:40-12:10)
This Session will focus on the critical roles
of partnerships amongst NRIs, LRGs and NGMs for the implementation of the SDGs
at the local level. It will provide insights on the importance of enhancing NRI
engagement in promoting effective local governance and partnership. The Session
affirms the importance of effective governance and inclusive partnerships for
local and regional governments, where practical acceleration for the SDGs
arises on-ground. NRIs can generate insightful innovations and strengthen local
policies with their scientific expertise.
Key questions:
Why
local governance among NRIs, LRGs and NGMs are important to achieve the SDGs?
How
can strategic insights from NRIs accelerate the progress towards the SDGs?
What
are practical policy cases NRIs develop in Republic of Korea in areas of local
service delivery, digital transformation, disaster resilience and other local
policies?
This
Roundtable Discussion will share expertise of 6 outstanding NRIs in Republic of
Korea. 6 NRIs will provide practical policy cases how to formulate practical
policies for SDG localization in the areas of public services delivery, local
administration, effective local digital policy, island development, community
activities and disaster management for local and regional authorities in the
Republic of Korea. It is for the first time for the honorable representatives
of the institutions to come together to exchange their experiences. It will
also provide a rare opportunity for the audience to ask questions. The Session
will serve the calls from other countries to share knowhows and
recommendations.
Practical Lessons on Local Governance and
Partnership for SDG Implementation at the Local Level (13:30-15:00)
This Session will explore the challenges and
opportunities in formulating on-ground policies by NGOs, LRGs, and NGMs for
implementing the SDG at the local level in the world. It will feature actual
implementation cases on local governance and partnership shared by NGOs and cities
and local authorities in Asia, Republic of Korea, Philippines, Africa and
beyond.
Key questions:
Why are
non-governmental organizations and small local governments critical in local
governance for the SDGs at the local level?
How
can hands-on actions from NGOs and local governments achieve the progress?
What organizational
changes are requested for effective local governance and partnership?
Overall, it will provide an opportunity for
government officials at the working level and local practitioners to explore
collaborations, strategies, and synergies among NGOs, NRIs, LRGs, and NGMs.
