14 III. UCLG-AFRICA VISION ON LOCALIZING THE SDGs

15 For UCLG Africa we should keep in Mind. 1) Global and Continental Agendas have an obvious territorial dimension. 2) Their implementation has a local dimension by nature 3) A great deal of their realization falls under the responsibility of Local and Regional Governments. 4) The International Community itself recognizes that over 60% of the SDGs and the Nationally Determined Commitments in application of the Paris Agreement on Climate Change(NDCs) cannot be implemented without the involvement of Local and Regional Governments. 15

16 Based on this evidences, and in close partnership and collaboration with UCLG, UCLG-Africa is actively engaged, mobilized and involved in a strong dynamic of Localizing SDGs and other Global Agendas

17 Among the outcomes of the Global Task Force of Local and Regional Governments 5 Pillars 1. AWARENESS-RAISING 2. ADVOCACY 3. IMPLEMENTATION 4. MONITORING 5. WHERE DO WE GO FROM HERE IN AN INCLUSIVE, INTEGRATED AND PARTICIPATORY WAY?
