ORU Fogar President calls out to the United Nations in favor of equitable financing of local and regional authorities
As part of the High Level Political Forum (HLPF) that the United Nations convened during this month of July to assess compliance with the 2030 Agenda, the president of ORU Fogar, Abdessamad Sekkal, made a strong plea in favor of local and regional governments having sufficient financial resources to face the challenges of the post-covid recovery. "Subnational governments - he said - are at the forefront of managing this crisis, but also its recovery." The also president of the Rabat Regional Council Salé Kenitra, explained that the achievement of the objectives set in the global agendas (Agenda 2030, Paris Agreement and New Urban Agenda) now depends more than ever on a good articulation of the different levels of government, respect for the principle of subsidiarity, as well as a sound budgetary policy that “must end,” he said, “with the competition for access to resources, by strengthening allocations to local authorities”.

The combination of far-reaching technological change, economic globalization and the intensification signals of ecological and health risk does not leave much room for the lucubration or a mere rhetorical exercise on the need to transform our government systems. Madeleine Albright (the former Secretary of State in the Clinton administration) said that we were confronted with problems of 21st century with ideas of 20th century, using instruments designed in the 19th century.
