Presentation

Local development has been a topic of debate since the academy first opened. Of these discussions, different focuses have emerged to confront the challenges of local development: some propose implementing well-planned global conditions into a local context, others argue that institutional strengthening of the local environment is the best way, whilst others believe that the solution lies within empowering the local community.  

This course investigates how the local environment (region, city or local government area) can affect Human Development. Local conditions can create challenges and opportunities, and the need to implement development strategies. Human development relies on deepening the democratic practice, by opening dialog between the state and the civil society, and by strengthening the relations between the participatory and representative democracy.  

Local Human Development strategy is based on citizen participation and the objective of the course is to build the capacity of local actors, in such a way that they have the ability to overcome development problems.
