As part of the World Urban Forum 6, UNU-WIDER will jointly host a networking event with the African Centre for Cities on 'Urban Governance and Service Delivery in Africa: The Role of National Policies, Institutions, and Politics'. Participants will be examining the imperatives of, and obstacles to, improved service delivery and urban planning in African cities. A portion of the research presented at this event has been conducted as part of UNU-WIDER’s project on Decentralization and Urban Service Delivery: Implications for Foreign Aid.
