Provisional Detailed Programme (8 Nov 2019)
*Provisional programme subject to change
The World Summit of Local and Regional Leaders, convened by United Cities and Local Governments
(UCLG), is the largest gathering of mayors, presidents of associations, councillors, and local and regional
practitioners from around the world. It also gathers the most influential local and regional leaders, partners,
and actors implicated in the decision making of city and community life.
The triennial UCLG Congress builds on the legacy of the commitments of the local and regional
governments’ constituency around the world. A commitment to ensure a better future for all through action
at local, national and international levels. A commitment to govern and build in partnership, and for cities
and regions to take their rightful place at the head of a new international agenda for inclusive and
sustainable development.
Monday 11 and Tuesday 12 will be dedicated to smaller-scale events and preparatory meetings.
The Summit will be officially opened on Wednesday 13, with Wednesday 13, Thursday 14 and Friday 15 as
the main political days of the Congress.

of Local and Regional Governments on key priorities of the World Organisation.
Speakers: UCLG Presidency
10:00-11:30: Assembly on Decentralisation and Local Finance, led by Africa
Getting Local Finance Right entails ensuring sufficient access to finance for local governments. In order to meet
the challenges of sustainable urban development, the legislative frameworks must open the door for an
empowerment of local and regional governments and an equitable distribution of financial influx.
The session, led by UCLG-Africa, will discuss how to develop an political environment for decentralisation and an
enabling environment for the financing of local and regional governments, the role of decentralizing financing to
increase local and regional governments’ capacity to act, and articulating strategies that allow for the
reinforcement of the financial management of cities and regions.

11:30-13:00: Assembly on Aligning Local Priorities with the 2030 Agenda, and the Right to the City:
“Lightning rounds: European actions on the SDGs” led by Europe
The Universal Development Agendas will never happen unless they are mainstreamed and owned at the local
level. Over 60% of the targets of the SDGs are achievable at the local level yet, currently, the lack of coordination
between the different institutions that share SDG-related competences is clearly affecting their implementation.
While the major challenges facing cities and rural areas are the very close, they often materialized in different
ways and addressing in the materialization of the issues raised but often interrelated and need to be addressed
in a common way.#UCLGCongress

it be possible to transform the international governance system. Different constituencies will present and
