World Observatory on Subnational Government Finance and Investment (SNG WOFI)
On 17th of June 2019, the first International Conference of the World Observatory on Subnational Government Finance and Investment (SNG WOFI) took place in Paris. The Observatory is a joint initiative of the OECD and UCLG.
On the occasion of the conference, OECD and UCLG launched the '2019 World Observatory Report'. The report provides systematised information on decentralisation processes, territorial reforms, the powers and responsibilities of subnational governments, and the nature and weight of their income, expenditure and investment.
DeLoG will conduct a webinar on Local Finance, focussing on the World Observatory on Subnational Government Finance and Investment and highlighting use and usefulness for management and practitioners in international cooperation.
Speakers:
Isabelle Chatry, OECD Senior Policy Analyst
