Dialogue on Fostering Local Democracy

The one-day dialogue between parliamentarians, civil society organisations, officials and development partners seeks to deepen mutual understanding of each actor's role in building democracy at the local level.

Civil society organisations, the government and development partners are all working to trengthen local governance and increase people's participation in drafting and monitoring local development programmes.

This dialogue aims to deepen participants' knowledge of each actor's work and to trengthen the synergies between them.
Such dialogues are particularly timely because the Mkukuta-review is drawing near. It is ime to evaluate our work and engage in open discussion about the priorities for the next five years.
