At the initiative of UNDP and the programme Art Gold, ALDA will be present at the United Nations event on Development that will take place on the 5th and 6th of July 2012, in New York.
ALDA will be portrayed among Territorial Answers to Global Challenges – Innovative multi-level partnerships for development effectiveness (Friday, 6th of July), in the framework of the Third Biennial High Level Development Cooperation Forum.
ALDA started, with the programme Non State Actors/Local Authorities an important activity in promoting development based on the joint initiative of Local Authorities and Civil Society. The programmes are very much developed in Eastern Partnership countries like Belarus, Armenia and Georgia. In those last ones, ALDA is developing its methodology thanks to the Local Democracy Agencies. In Belarus, ALDA works with local partners with success, despite the difficulties.
A programme – WTD, Working Together for Development – has been launched last year, joining the efforts of 25 partners (local authorities and civil society networks) in promoting – jointly – initiatives for development and improved impact of cooperation actions.
Working locally, with local authorities and civil society, will be presented at the Side Event dedicated to innovative methodologies, at the UN conference, on the 6th of July, by the Director of ALDA, Antonella Valmorbida. This event represents a further step of cooperation with UNDP and in particular with the Art Gold programme.
