The world is urbanizing fast: in less than a century more than 1 billion people have been urbanized. Experts forecast that very soon Africa will become one of the most urbanized continents. However, almost 70% of world’s urban population is living in the cities where governments are struggling to provide basic services. The reason behind remains a lack of financing.
This 5-week MOOC will address: Financial decision-making environment in urban systems, mechanisms for mobilizing local revenues, innovative mechanisms for financing infrastructure projects through partnerships and financial decision making under uncertainties and risks
The MOOC was developed in collaboration with the United Cities and Local Governments of Africa, African Local Governments Academy, and Erasmus University Rotterdam.
