How can local communities and governments come together to find alternative models for collectively managing key resources and services, ensuring accessibility to all and strengthening community participation? This training will look at the opportunities held by public-community partnerships as an example of commoning and a localization strategy that goes beyond the public-private divide to guarantee the protection of housing; food systems; basic services, communication and other commons goods.
By the end of the training, participants will have an improved understanding on:
- The key principles and approaches to public-community partnerships and their relevance for responding to concrete challenges at the local level;
- The different models and examples of public community partnerships and how they can be applied in different sectors;
- How these can be applied as to respond to concrete challenges at their context, under the framework of localizing the New Urban Agenda and the SDGs
