Our formats

Municipal Development Councils

We make local involvement possible through Municipal Development Councils. We believe that the participation of all relevant stakeholder groups strengthens local democracy.

Trialogues

Trialogues bring stakeholders from business, politics & administration, organized civil society and academia into a structured exchange.
