#UCLGCongress

The World Summit of Local and Regional Leaders and World Congress is the largest
gathering of mayors, presidents of associations, local elected officers, and
practitioners from around the world. Convened by United Cities and Local
Governments (UCLG) from 10-14 October in Daejeon, it also gathers critical partners
from international organizations and civil society driving forward the decision-making
of city and community life.
For the first-time hybrid, in the 2022 World Summit we will embrace new possibilities
to open up to audiences beyond the city of Daejeon, to be all together in every way we
can while bringing in the Korean perspective on key issues of the international agenda.
The highlights of the program will include preparatory meetings of UCLG sections on
Monday 10th and the kick-off of the Networking Hub, a series of innovative in-person
sessions to dive into the World Organization, on Tuesday 11th. Following the official
opening of the World Summit, on Wednesday 12th, the program will feature high-level
political events connected to the UCLG Pact for the Future of Humanity, which will
continue throughout Thursday 13th and Friday 14th.

Promoting the Principles of Effective Governance
in Africa: Peer Learning among African Local and

African Local Governments Academy (ALGA)
The 11 Principles of Effective Governance adopted by the UN
ECOSOC in 2018 apply to all public institutions and are based on
the
following
pillars:
effectiveness,
accountability
and
inclusiveness. The 11 Principles can be best implemented at the
local and regional levels of governance, where the results and
impact of effective governance are most visible and where local
public institutions can gain the trust of citizens, users, service
providers and partners. The session aims to raise awareness about
these Principles and discuss how to create an enabling
environment to anchor them at local and regional levels,
particularly in Africa.

Proximity is a central feature of promoting planning and policy-
making initiatives aimed at transforming our societies towards
more sustainable, inclusive and resilient ways of living at the local,
urban and regional level. Developing models of transport,
production and consumption which foster proximity is crucial to
preserve our planet, enhance urban and territorial quality of life,
and harness inclusive innovation. This special session will gather
lead experts, government representatives and practitioners to
deliberate on the way forward for a dialogue that reflects the

Bullying amongst school children and adolescents can
disproportionately impact children with disabilities. As such,
various international instruments have declared the importance of
States adopting measures that guarantee respect for the rights of

measures is the campaign “Good treatment in schools, from

Towards Caring Territories against Gender-based
Violence
International Observatory on violence against women, Seine-Saint-

Violence against women is commonly addressed at national and civil

levels. This session highlights LRGs’ role as key actors in
designing and implementing innovative public policies to raise
awareness, but also to ensure women victims’ protection, full
recovery and empowerment. Connecting the initiatives and scaling up
the efforts of LRGs at the international level is essential to advance in
this fight worldwide, and to build “caring territories” protecting women
victims of violence.

Care Policy with Smart Technologies
Welfare Policy Division of Daejeon Metropolitan City
Due to aging populations and changing family structures, health and
social care services are increasingly essential. Today’s local
governments are being required to expand care services despite
financial and human resources constraints. Faced with these
challenges, local leaders are likely to look for smart technologies to
care for people in need. For the benefit of benchmarking, this session
will jointly examine cases where new technologies have been
adopted to enhance care services, including “Daejeon’s Smart

Local and regional governments are firmly on the ‘frontline of

Climate Emergency and COVID-19 pandemic. From the
development of people-centered early warning systems and early
action plans to the reduction of vulnerabilities through public service
provision and risk-sensitive urban planning, LRGs are critical to
secure progress towards Agenda 2030 in the face of increasingly
complex shocks. Coinciding with International Day for Disaster Risk

Financing the Future of Cities and Regions:
Fostering renewed partnerships to support
sustainable urbanization and territorial
development
Global Fund for Cities Development (FMDV)
SDGs cannot be achieved without proper financial resources. Yet
most local and regional governments, especially intermediary cities
in the Global South, are facing huge financial gaps to deliver basic
services to their communities. The session will present the
achievements of the UCLG strategy on “localizing finances for
sustainable urbanization and territorial development”. It will provide
an overview of the missing links to increase impacts and outline the
proposed new approach to scale up support for more -and better-
financing for local and regional governments.

The Future of Multilevel Governance to localize
effectively the global agendas and recover from
complex crises
Barcelona Provincial Government
No sphere of government has the ability to tackle complex crises and
achieve the Agenda 2030 on its own. Effective and fair multilevel
governance through reinforced local democracy and subsidiarity is
the only way for local and regional governments to respond to the
increasing share of responsibilities, territorial fragmentation and
complex emergencies. The session aims to provide practical
information, the appropriate frameworks, knowledge and resources
to rethink the challenges of decentralization, strengthen multilevel
governance and deal with regional and local inequalities.

Union and cooperation between local and regional governments is

Associations (LGAs) will engage in knowledge transfer and exchange
around capacity-building for their organizations, regarding member
services, policy and advocacy, financial sustainability and
networking. National LGAs have the potential to play a pivotal role in
achieving the SDGs as they adapt to crises and the transformed
relations with partners and other governments.

The Future of Food Systems: Guaranteeing the

UCLG World Secretariat
Local and regional governments play a critical role in guaranteeing
the right to food for all and in ensuring resilient, sustainable and
equitable food systems. They must be empowered to achieve just
food systems transformations. This session aims to discuss how joint
strategies can be developed and strengthened, considering key
milestones in 2023. A dialogue on the next steps will help formulate
recommendations to ensure that local and regional governments are
front and center in the follow up of the commitments stemming from

The added value of local governments in advancing a culture of

are often underexposed even though they can be successful and
have strong legitimacy. The session will showcase the most
innovative cases from the finalists of the 2022 UCLG Peace Prize and
discussions will focus on key peacebuilding challenges, the
contribution of local governments and a shared understanding of the

Given that science and technology might chip away at local
autonomy, this session will discuss a model of local governance

determinant elements to achieving the global agendas. The plenary

New technologies like facial recognition, artificial intelligence and
the metaverse have found their way into our daily lives. They are
already being used in the public sector, helping decision-making
and providing services. However, these new technologies also pose
threats to human rights. This session, featuring experts of ICT as
well as human rights, will examine cases where new technologies
might violate human rights and explore how to protect those rights,
particularly in the field of public administration, in this new era.
