DELGOSEA network is calling for a more permanent dialogue on decentralization and local governance to be established between ASEAN member states and for expanded collaboration with local authorities (LAs), as well as civil society, in a multi-stakeholder approach. The importance of regional cooperation on local governance with the aim of securing better living conditions for the people of Southeast Asia has been recognised by ASEAN and support for a joint approach by the member states is growing.
The final conference of the Partnership for Democratic Local Governance in Southeast Asia (DELGOSEA), will concentrate on the further integration of local governance into the ASEAN framework. Signaling the end of the EU co-financed project activities, it will take place on Tuesday, August 7 and Wednesday, August 8, 2012 in Bangkok, Thailand.
