Berlin City Council to Enhance Local Development Policy

October 29, 2024

The Berlin City Council has approved a resolution to strengthen its engagement in development policy at the local level. The resolution, initiated by the SPD (Social Democratic Party), Bündnis 90/Die Grünen (Alliance 90/The Greens), and FDP (Free Democratic Party), aims to leverage the city’s resources and expertise to make a meaningful contribution to global development efforts.

The resolution acknowledges the crucial role of local governments in promoting sustainable development and reducing global inequality. By harnessing the collective power of cities and their citizens, Berlin can contribute to a more just and equitable world.

Key aspects of the resolution include:

  • Establishing a dedicated focal point for development policy: The city will create a central office within the administration responsible for coordinating and facilitating development-related activities.
  • Strengthening partnerships with civil society organizations: Berlin will foster collaboration with local and international NGOs working in the field of development cooperation.
  • Supporting local initiatives: The city will provide financial and logistical support to community-based projects that promote development goals.
  • Raising public awareness: Berlin will engage in public outreach campaigns to raise awareness about global development issues and the importance of local involvement.

The resolution also emphasizes the need for a comprehensive approach to development policy that addresses both local and global challenges. By connecting local actions with the wider international development agenda, Berlin can maximize its impact and contribute to the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals.

The resolution was met with overwhelming support from the city council, reflecting the strong commitment of Berlin to playing a leading role in global development efforts. The city’s extensive experience in areas such as urban planning, education, and social welfare will serve as valuable assets in its mission to promote sustainable development worldwide.
