  2. Local Initiative Facility for Urban Environment (LIFE Programme) LIFE - GLAN Dialogue – Partnerships .. Makes Difference United Nations Development Programme

  3. To learn more about LIFE • Get our publications • Visit our website (UNDP + our own under construction) • Get involved with our network • Start practicing LIFE’s methodology

  4. LIFE Uniqueness.. • Our tool is Local-Local Dialogue between the stakeholders • Our target is establishing healthy partnership aiming better livelihoods • By using the Upstream Downstream Upstream approach

  5. LIFE makes difference … By creatingthe Critical Mass … We can getthe Political Will

  6. The Millennium Development Goals Local Initiative Facility for Urban Environment (LIFE Programme) • Goal 1 Eradicate extreme poverty & hunger • Goal 2 Achieve universal primary education • Goal 3 Promote gender equality & empower women • Goal 4 Reduce child mortality • Goal 5 Improve maternal health • Goal 6 Combat HIV/AIDS, malaria & other diseases • Goal 7 Ensure environmental sustainability • Goal 8 Develop a global partnership for development

  7. Localizing the MDGs.. before the Millennium Declaration Local Initiative Facility for Urban Environment (LIFE Programme) • The development context today is one dominated by the global commitment to achieve the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs). The Goals represent an urgent and time-bound call to action. • Poor urban areas present a particular challenge for MDGs localization. Decentralization, participatory local governance and localization have explicitly been espoused as enabling strategies for the MDGs.

  8. LIFE and MDGs • by directly contributing to Goal 1 and Goal 7 (specifically Target 10 on sustainable access to safe drinking water and basic sanitation, and Target 11 on improving the lives of slum dwellers); • by contributing indirectly to others: Goal 3 and Goal 4; • most importantly, by providing a methodology and approach based on participatory local governance, by which the MDGs overall can be localized.

  10. Criteria of Healthy Dialogue Our Target is a Sustainable Partnership.. • Study your target area before intervention • Empower communities and CBOs • Bring all actors for the dialogue.. Try not to forget or ignore any of them • The “Forum of Actors” is the first step towards the partnership

  11. Building the Confidence… • The different actors dialogue about the problems and agree on the priorities • Presenting the available resources that could be used • LIFE comes with a Magnet Fund

  12. The LIFE Approach Local Initiative Facility for Urban Environment (LIFE Programme) • Upstream: Catalyzing a national dialogue, developing strategic plans and gathering wide support from various stakeholders. • Downstream: Ensuring effective and collaborative small projects that address priority environmental problems; act as policy experiments and promote local-local dialogue, cooperation between local actors, and build local capacity. • Upstream: Realizing micro-macro linkages through experience exchange, advocacy and policy dialogue to influence policy and upscale and mainstream the LIFE approach.

  13. Strategy Local Initiative Facility for Urban Environment (LIFE Programme) • Local initiative in urban contexts • Micro-level initiative to macro-level policy • Local actors from civil, government and private sectors • Give to the actors access to state of the art knowledge, information and opportunities Support knowledge generation and knowledge exchange

  15. Example.. • The problem: • Access to basic services • Opposing positions of community and CSDIs & LAs • Methodology: • Local – Local Dialogue

  16. Example .. (Cont.) • Results: • Change of perception of CSDIs and Las • Access ensured through creating innovative option • Impact: • Government recognition of right of the urban poor to basic services

  17. Maintaining the Process.. Our target is mainstreaming and replication • Dividing the responsibilities • Sign on commitments • Bringing the media in the process as full partners

  18. Is Success Guaranteed?! • In most of the cases YES,, BUT even if the dialogue leads to no partnership • This is also a Good Result because the actors are not ready and of course NO RISK

  19. Important Tips.. • Document your actions • Derive lessons and learn from them • Disseminate them to existing and new forums

  20. LIFE New Phase.. Local Initiative Facility for Urban Environment (LIFE Programme) • LIFE GLAN : A Network and a programme to facilitate the knowledge of LIFE and to localize the implementation of the MDGs (through participatory local governance and providing solutions to urban problems)

  21. LIFE GLAN &Knowledge Management • Disseminate methodology and knowledge (publications, website and other media) • Advisory services • To set up Regional Resources Centers

  22. LIFE GLAN &localizing the MDGs • LIFE countries’ networks dealt with 5 million of MDG 7 targeted 100 million squatters for outreach by 2015. • LIFE will continue working among these squatters till 2015, which might lead to double its coverage and contribute achievement of 10% of MDG 7 by 2015.
