Shifting resources, leadership and agency to the local level.
Briefing paper.
This paper outlines why money should flow to the local level by showcasing good examples of locally led climate solutions. It provides examples of several existing mechanisms that have been designed to increase participation, transparency and accountability as potential vehicles to channel much needed resources to these kinds of solutions.
Based on Hivos’ and its partners’ experience and the extensive research done by academics and practitioners in the field, the paper recommends ways for governments, international donors and funds, as well as intermediaries, to act upon the commitments made to increase and secure the effective flow of financial resources to the local level.
