Local reorganisation
During a recent visit to London and a meeting with CLGF Secretary-General Lucy Slack, Professor Dr Mohammad Tarikul Islam explained about the changes in prospect for local government in Bangladesh.
Academics from India, Bangladesh and the UK came together for the first South Asian Research Colloquium at the Indian Institute of Management, Calcutta on 28-29 January. The event was based on the theme Localising global values: what the SDGs mean for local governments in South Asia and facilitated presentation of papers and discussion on the implementation of SDGs in the region.
The colloquium participants recommended various ways in which CLGF can better integrate its academic and research members into its programme and research work.
This was the first-ever regional meeting of CLGF’s research advisory group members.
