Description

The UCLG Working Group for Territorial Prevention and Management of Crises, chaired by Mr. Sami Kanaan (Member of the Executive Council, City of Geneva) will meet in Geneva on Monday 29 November to hear from local authorities from Ghana, Lebanon and Mali.

 

The objective of the meeting is to enable an exchange of knowledge and expertise on crisis management, as well as to reinforce the role of local governments in those situations. For that purpose, these local authorities will share the challenges they face as well as their specific needs when faced with complex crises unfolding at local level, including the pandemic of Covid-19. The meeting will also provide an opportunity for the Global Alliance for Urban Crises (GAUC) to present its strategy and for Geneva-based humanitarian actors to exchange with local authorities and discuss ways and means to enhance their collaboration on the ground.
