Deadline: 29 September 2019
The Hague Academy for Local Governance has announced an Online Course – Inclusive Local Economic Development which will take place online from 7 October to 17 November 2019.
This six-week, practice-oriented, and expert-led online course will explore strategies and tools for local authorities to promote sustainable and inclusive economic growth. It will provide participants with the knowledge and skills to assess their local economic environment and – in an inclusive manner – design an effective local economic development strategy.
E-learning methodology
Unlike most e-courses, this hands-on, interactive course will apply problem–based and collaborative learning methods. Participants will have plenty of space to interact with both each other and with the instructor and will work together to solve practical assignments.
Learning Objectives
This course will help applicants to:
- Assess the economic and political context for regional development;
- Identify challenges and opportunities for strengthening the local economy and job creation together with stakeholders at the local, regional and national level;
- Develop approaches to strategic and inclusive local economic planning;
- Become acquainted with practical tools for supporting the local economy.
After this course, applicants will receive a professional certificate of completion from The Hague Academy for Local Governance.
Intended Audience
Professionals involved in local economic development processes, including development workers, officials working for municipalities, regional governments, and ministries, as well as development banks.
