VNG International DEALS podcast Pereira Carolina Cardona- 29:9:19 22.17 by Irene published on 2019-10-01T08:58:45Z In a series of podcasts the International Cooperation Agency of the Association of Netherlands Municipalities, VNG International, interviews people involved in the programme Governance of Inclusive Green Growth in Cities (DEALS). Our main question is: what or who makes the key difference at the local level? VNG International is an expert in strengthening local government in developing and transitional countries. DEALS is a programme to support fast-growing cities in the transition to inclusive and sustainable development. For this transition new forms of cooperation are needed between local government, companies, social organizations, knowledge institutions and funding institutions. In this podcast (#3) we interview Carolina Cardona, Secretary of Rural Development and Environment of the City of Pereira, Colombia. Together with VNG International, the DEALS programme, she works on an inclusive governance approach for the formalization of informal waste recyclers. The programme is financed by the Netherlands ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Inclusive Green Growth department. Genre Verhalen
