This panel features a researcher and three members (alumni) from the Shaping Futures Network who will reflect on local governance issues from diverse backgrounds and experiences. Shaping Futures stands for the African–European Network on Development and Sustainability and is run by the German Institute of Development and Sustainability (IDOS, Bonn). This network brings together young professionals from different parts of Africa and Europe to engage in knowledge cooperation on a variety of sustainable development themes. In this panel, a mix of Europe-based and African network members will reflect on local or municipal developments in their home contexts, place those in the broader political economic context of their countries and will share how they think (international) partnerships at the local level could help tackle pressing problems and seize opportunities in view of the Agenda 2030 topics.
