Local Development in West Africa - How to Make it Inclusive for All? (film)

[fr]"Comment inclure tout le monde dans les politiques locales de développement"? INCLURE, c'est-à-dire à la fois permettre aux citoyens de participer aux processus de concertation et de décisions, mais aussi leur offrir l'égal accès aux services. [en]"How to make local development policies inclusive for all ?" “Making it INCLUSIVE” means not only enabling the citizens to partake in consultation and decision-making processes, but also offering them equal access to services.

With the push towards decentralization, local governments are gradually emerging as development agents. Overarching development policies are shaped at a national level while public policies are devised and implemented at the local level by local authorities. This film showcases local stakeholders’ contribution to development. It aims to answer the question posed by many local government representatives: "How to make local development policies inclusive for all ?" “Making it INCLUSIVE” means not only enabling the citizens to partake in consultation and decision-making processes, but also offering them equal access to services. Within this framework the most vulnerable groups, including people with disabilities, are treated on a par with others.
