Renewal of governance
The lessons learned from the experience shared in the Emergency Governance Initiatives show us that the responsibility for ensuring all populations do have access to quality local public services lies with the state, and in particular, with local, metropolitan and regional governments. Despite the front-running role played by local and regional governments to address the emergencies we face; recovery strategies and national service delivery frameworks still fail to consistently account for the investments necessary to ensure and reinforce local public service provision.
Cooperation between national, local, metropolitan and regional governments, as well as alliances with local actors, are critical for upholding such responsibility. As we move into the future, reinforcing the capacity of our local public service systems will define how cities and territories can mitigate the negative impacts of complex emergencies on their populations. The time is thus ripe to join forces and make these systems as robust as possible
