CILA 2022 - CILA / Ciudades en Acción

The citizens of the Global South

need more from democracies

and their local governments.

We are at a key moment marked by institutional distrust and remoteness, internal and cross-border conflicts that go beyond the capacities of the central government and an imperative need to strengthen advocacy, dialogue and the construction of solutions in an intersectoral manner that is linked, in turn, with the territories.

This is why CILA seeks to promote innovative forms of governance and collective action in cities of the Global South that are reflected in the strengthening of participation and co-construction in decision-making processes and community building to promote actions that aim to achieve effective equality between people.

CILA seeks to promote:

Innovation

through the use of technologies, agile methodologies, management and knowledge generation for the coordination and incorporation of diverse actors in territorial, dynamic and resilient public policies.

Collaboration

through the integration of diverse value systems, policies, institutions, knowledge, needs and proposals of all actors that make up society.

Collective action,

through recommendations of tools and methodologies for the construction of solutions that strengthen the advocacy capacity of the different actors and the construction of participatory instances for collaborative and sustainable decisions.
