Capacity building activities and networks at the OECD Trento Centre
Building effective capacity at local level is crucial to strive with new local development challenges and create sustainable, inclusive and resilient local economies and communities
|
Designing and implementing effective local development strategies is not a straightforward task. Local leaders and organisations need specialised expertise along with conducive institutional settings to assess local needs and choose the right mix of policies, programmes and financial instruments to address them. Likewise, effectively coordinating with local stakeholders and other levels of government requires a specific skillset. Gaps in any of these areas can derail even the best-laid plans. The Trento Centre works directly with local leaders to build the capacities needed to make their communities more inclusive, sustainable and resilient. Through almost two decades of experience, it has developed a unique and highly interactive approach to capacity building, blending the latest OECD research with practice-oriented sessions. In its academies, trainings, webinars, workshops and conferences, participants learn from international experts and speakers, but also through concrete examples and “field visits” to local initiatives. Breaking down institutional barriers and fostering peer-to-peer learning are prodromal to sharing good practices and improving systems. By bringing insights from OECD work to thousands of local policy makers and practitioners – and helping them build the skills to act accordingly – the Trento Centre helps to transform research into local development.
