This webinar, hosted by Future Cities Africa and The Municipal Edge, forms part of the White Paper on Local Government Webinar Series and will take place on 24 April 2026 at 10:00. The session introduces the vision, guiding principles, and strategic pillars of South Africa’s 2026 White Paper on Local Government.
The webinar will explore the policy direction and paradigm shift underpinning the White Paper, with a focus on reimagining developmental local government in response to contemporary governance challenges. Key themes include community‑centred governance, citizen participation, and the transformation of service delivery to better respond to local needs.
Designed for policymakers, practitioners, researchers, and stakeholders in local governance, the session provides an overview of how the White Paper seeks to reposition local government as a more participatory, responsive, and development‑oriented sphere of governance.
