UCLG Massive and Open Online Courses on Monitoring
Available from January: Voluntary Local Reviews, Voluntary Subnational Reviews and the role of local and regional governments associations in the SDGs monitoring process
Dear members,
UCLG is launching new self-paced online courses to those interested in the role of Local, Regional Governments and Associations for the SDGs Monitoring, with three new MOOCs produced with the Working Group on Capacity and Institution Building (UCLG-CIB) and in partnership with the Global Taskforce of Local and Regional Governments, UN-Habitat, UNDP and the Barcelona Provincial Council.
The first one, on Voluntary Local Reviews (VLRs), is based on the UCLG and UN-Habitat VLRs Guidelines, with a step-by-step approach on how to prepare and design it, with didactic videos, infographics, quizzes and inspiring examples, as the ones of Buenos Aires and Florence.
The second one, on Voluntary Subnational Reviews (VSRs), based on the UCLG VSRs Guidelines, brings a complete background on the co-creation process and how to mobilize different stakeholders, with special tips, multiple examples, as the special cases of the Netherlands, Benin, Mexico and Germany.
The third one, focused on the role of Local and Regional Governments Associations in the SDGs monitoring process, also gives a general introduction to the processes of Voluntary National Reviews (VNRs), VLRs and VSRs, with up-dated and improved exercises, videos and best practices, as the one of Finland.
These courses are online, self-paced, with certificates, and are available for free in English, French and Spanish.
Sincerely,
The UCLG World Secretariat
