What this stream covers.
Africa's development story is increasingly written at the subnational level. This stream brings together Governors, regional executives, and county leaders to share experiences on decentralisation, accountability, and the delivery of development closest to the citizen.
Delegates will examine how devolved government is being used as a laboratory for reform — from own-source revenue generation to inter-governmental coordination — and what it takes to turn subnational mandates into measurable citizen impact.
- Peer benchmarks from governors leading comparable reforms
- A working framework for stronger centre–subnational coordination
- Direct access to the governors and chiefs of staff on this stream
Ministerial keynote, governors' panel, and a closed-door roundtable for heads of subnational government.
