Professional Local Government Management in Africa –

A Development Imperative

The Municipal Development Partnership for Eastern and Southern Africa (MDP) is celebrating its 20th Anniversary in 2011. MDP is commemorating this historic occasion through our 20th Anniversary Partnership Initiative. The culmination of this initiative will be the 20th Anniversary African Symposium to be held in October 2011.   The theme of the symposium will be:

An African Local Governance Retrospective 
Professionalizing Local Government Management for Service Delivery

MDP wishes to thank all its partners who have played such an important role in the history and development of MDP.  Without your involvement, MDP would not be celebrating its 20th Anniversary.  We also want to encourage many new partners to get involved - we are eager to work with you on projects that promote effective, responsive, inclusive and ethical local governance in Africa.
