UCLG Learning Agenda - 31/05/2018
The latest UCLG Learning tool “Mandala” has just been launched, and will be of great use for training sessions on SDG localization. The learning tool, which is based on members’ experience and has already been transferred to others, is the third of its kind (the first is on monitoring SDGs in communities and the second is on basic mapping for Intermediary-cities). Mandala is particularly interesting for our local government association members.
