Editorial
Dr Najat Zarrouk Director of the African Local Governments Academy (ALGA) of UCLG-Africa
2009-2018: almost 10 years have lapsed since the UCLG-Africa Members has adopted a Resolution at the end of the Africities Summit V, held in
in 2009 in Marrakech, Morocco, inviting to the creation of a Center of excellence for empowerment, capacity building and training. This Center
became the African Local Governments Academy (ALGA).
In addition to the fact that this initiative is part of the implementation of Priority 3 of the UCLG-Africa Vision on "Human Capital Development,
Capacity Building and Intellectual Exchange", the Summit comes at a point where the process of Decentralization, Local Governance and Local
Development is in a geopolitical context where challenges intermingle with opportunities.
All the World Agendas: "The World We Want", for which the Local and Regional Governments played a key role at the time of their discussion and adoption and for which they are called upon for their implementation: Agenda 2030 for Sustainable Development, the Climate Agenda, the New Urban Agenda, The Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction 2015-2030, and the Addis Ababa Action Agenda for Action resulting from the Third International Conference on Financing for Development.
4
The African Vision 2063: "The Africa We Want", based on inclusive growth and sustainable development, integrated, politically united and based on the ideals of Pan-Africanism and the vision of the African Renaissance, where good governance, democracy, respect for human rights, justice and the rule of law are on the agenda, living in peace and security, with a strong cultural identity, a common heritage, and shared values and ethics, whose development is people-driven, which relies on the potential of its people, especially women and young, which cares about children, and which ultimately acts as a strong united and influential global Player and Partner.
The African Charter on the Values and Principles of Decentralization, Local Governance and Local Development, adopted by the 23rd Ordinary Session of the African Union Conference, held on June 26-27, 2014 in Malabo, Equatorial Guinea, which includes among its principles the mobilization and use of resources, including human resources, as well as capacity developme nt; Local and Regional Governments in Africa also have to face not only the strengthening and broadening of their roles, skills and
responsibilities in the development dynamic, but their daily lives are made up of struggles against rapid urbanization, migra tory
flows, climate change, youth unemployment, and scarcity of resources.
It remains that among the most important challenges faced by the Territorial Communities, they are those related to the
weaknesses of the local public administration, in terms of governance, organization, management, efficiency, effectiveness or
quality of public services offered to citizens.
It can even be said that this aspect is the "poor cousin" in the whole process of advocacy carried out by the Local Authorities,
whether vis-à-vis their States and their Central Governments, or vis-à-vis their Development Partners and funders.
Since 2009, UCLG-Africa has been working for the implementation and operating of ALGA as shown in this brochure, but there is still a long
way to go, because through this initiative, we aim:
- To invest in the most important resource for any African Territorial Government, namely its Human Capital;
- To contribute to the upgrading and modernization of Local Public Administration in Africa;
- To promote the Standards of Excellence and Quality Standards at the level of Institutes and training programs targeting the
Local and Infranational Governments in Africa;
5
- To promote an ethical, committed, honest, competent and professional Local Leadership;
- To train, build capacity and professionalize the Human Resources of Territorial Governments in Africa ;
- To contribute to the training and the anchoring of African expertise in decentralization, local governance and local and
territorial development, through scientific research, the training of trainers, and the fostering of publications;
- To promote networking at all levels, as a force for change and momentum.
This editorial is also an appeal to the African States, the Central Governments, to our Members, to the National Associations of
Local and Infranational Governments, to our Networks, to the Territorial Managers, to the Anchoring Institutes of ALGA in Africa,
to our Partners, as well as to Funders, to support this initiative that requires the combination of efforts, the pooling of resources ,
and the establishment of strong, united and sustainable partnerships. It is only at this price that we can really anchor professionalism
and performance at the local level in Africa./.
