Description of work :
Franck Kinninvo (Benin): Expert in decentralisation and communication, Executive Director of the "Le Municipal" Foundation, member of the Africities strategic group of UCLG Africa.
Citizen participation as an essential element of democracy and governance in communes has always been a concern for local players in Benin. For a long time, Benin's local authorities have limited citizen participation to its first level, that of information, ignoring citizen co-creation and formulation of public policies taken into account by local authorities. Mr Kinninvo will discuss the challenges and progress made by Benin's local authorities in terms of citizen participation, drawing on the case of the Copargo commune in the north of the country.
Dr. Mahmouth Diop (Senegal): Director of the Kaolack Regional Development Agency, Director of the Kaolack Territorial Accompaniment Centre and UCLGA/ALGA Certified Territorial Accompanist.
Dr. Mahmouth Diop will present his experience as a territorial coach in the transformation of the salt industry in the Kaolack region. He will discuss the essential contributions of the approach, including its sociogram and the "Pro action café" tool for the territorial coordination of the approach. The territorial coaching approach is supported by the Kaolack Departmental Council and disseminated by the Territorial Coaching Centre headed by Dr Diop.
Dr. Theresia Gunawan (Indonesia): Innovation expert and lecturer, Catholic University of Parahyangan, Bandung, Indonesia.
Bandung was one of the first cities to sign up to the Milan Pact, an international movement of over 270 mayors working towards sustainable food in cities. Since then, the city has represented the Asia-Pacific region on the Pact's steering committee. Theresia will present the co-creation process underway in the city, using the 'pentahelix' method to improve food security in the city. The initiative involves integrating urban agriculture with organic waste management to improve access to healthy and nutritious food for citizens in a circular economy perspective.
Moderator: Charlotte Flechet, Director of Rikolto's international Good Food for Cities programme.

The sustainable cities platform
The JSF Sustainable Cities is a platform created as part of a grant programme funded by the Belgian federal government DGD (Directorate-General for Development Cooperation and Humanitarian Aid) within which stakeholders discuss, exchange and collaborate on the contribution to sustainable cities worldwide through international cooperation. The platform has 5 active members: VVSG (Association of Flemish Cities and Municipalities) - the platform's lead organisation, UVCW (the Union of Cities and Municipalities of Wallonia), Brulocalis (the Association of the City and Municipalities of Brussels), the NGO Echos Communication, and the NGO Rikolto. A number of other players, including NGOs, institutional players and Enabel, are closely involved in developing the activities. Together, these actors are working to create sustainable cities that achieve the SDGs. The sustainable city operates within the ecological limits of the planet while guaranteeing the minimum social conditions necessary for the well-being of its inhabitants.
