ADB-ADBI Forum on Governance and Institutions-Practical Lessons on Governance and Service Delivery for Subnational Governments

The Governance Thematic Group of the Asian Development Bank (ADB) and the Asian Development Bank Institute (ADBI) jointly organized the 2017 Forum on Governance and Institutions in partnership with the United Nations Project Office on Governance (UNPOG) and Korea Local Information Research & Development Institute (KLID), on 9-11 August 2017 in Seoul, Korea. This year’s topic was “Governance and Service Delivery: Practical Lessons for Subnational Governments.”

The primary objectives of the 2017 Forum, with its focus on local level service delivery, were as follows: (1) put in context the need for better service delivery as part of the broader agenda of governance, including devolution and public sector management; (2) share information on global developments (such as Sustainable Development Goals) and the focus on inclusive local service delivery (such that no one is left behind); and (3) discuss priority reforms and innovations, as well as measures to strengthen the capacity of local and subnational governments, in improving service delivery.

The 2017 Forum generated active interactions and learning among global experts and DMC officials in the broad areas of governance through panel discussions after each session, knowledge and information sharing, and field visits to relevant government units in Korea.

Participants came from the following:

Countries: Bangladesh, Bhutan, Cambodia, People's Republic of China, Indonesia, Lao PDR, Mongolia, Myanmar, Nepal, Pakistan, Papua New Guinea, Philippines, Sri Lanka, and Viet Nam.

Organizations: Asian Development Bank (ADB), Manila (and various field offices); ADB Institute, Tokyo; Korea Development Institute, Sejong; Korea Local Information Research & Development Institute, Seoul; Korea Ministry of the Interior and Safety, Sejong; Korea Public Finance Information Service, Seoul; Seoul Metropolitan Government, Seoul; The Asia Foundation, Thailand; and United Nations Project Office on Governance, Seoul.
