UCLG's Third Global Report on Local Democracy and Decentralization
(GOLD III) examines basic service provision and the current
state-of-play of the local governance of basic services around the
world. Basic Services for All in an Urbanizing World examines the
enormous challenge of ensuring the universal provision of basic
services in a world that is being shaped by rapid global
urbanization, climate change, and economic, social and
technological transformation. The world's urban population is
predicted to reach 5 billion people within the next 20-30 years.
The report analyses the conditions necessary for local governments
to provide these new urban residents with quality basic services.
Water, sanitation, waste management, transport and energy are
essential, not only for the preservation of human life and dignity,
but also in driving economic growth and ensuring social equality.
Each chapter examines a world region, drawing on existing research
and consultation with local authorities on the ground. The chapters
review access levels, legal and institutional frameworks, and the
different ways in which basic services are managed and financed, as
well as showcasing diverse examples of innovation in the local and
multi-level governance of services. It concludes with a set of
recommendations for all stakeholders with a view to making the goal
of basic services for all a reality. This report contributes to
discussions on the Millennium Development Goals and the UN
Post-2015 Development Agenda. The findings of GOLD III will also be
essential to promoting the vision of local governments at the 2016
UN Conference on Human Settlements (Habitat III).
