Nearby solutions: The role of regional and local governments in Latin America and the Caribbean
Abstract
The 2025 edition of CAF's Report on Economy and Development (RED) addresses the complex challenge of governmental decentralization in the region. This ongoing process has aimed to strengthen the competencies of subnational authorities, deeply linking with sustainable development actions. Through detailed analysis, the report highlights how local and regional governments, with their close knowledge of local realities, play a crucial role in providing public services and implementing development policies. CAF reaffirms its commitment to supporting these governments by providing financial resources and relevant knowledge to improve governance and move towards more equitable, resilient, and inclusive societies.
