OECD Local Development Forum 2025 Annual Meeting

Innovative experiences to promote local development

Jul 11, 2025 | 9:30 AM - 11:30 AM

Puerta de Oro - Deep dive room 1

Description

The event will focus on showcasing at least four significant and innovative experiences led by Colombian mayors that have driven local development in their territories. Participating municipalities will represent a range of contexts—from small towns to intermediate and large cities—that have achieved early successes in public administration during their first year in their term. The selected experiences will align with key thematic areas such as social development, environmental sustainability, local economic development, inclusion, and innovation. This international gathering will serve as an opportunity to highlight the achievements of local governments, promote the exchange of best practices, and foster collective learning. Furthermore, it aims to inspire other leaders and communities to adopt creative and context-sensitive approaches to address their own development challenges.
