Local Public Sector Alliance

Launched in January 2022, the Local Public Sector Alliance (LPSA) is a global alliance of advocates for inclusive and efficient decentralization and localization. In its two years of operation, LPSA has grown to a network of 1,600 scholars, policymakers, and practitioners working on decentralization in governance across multiple global regions. LPSA seeks to enhance the understanding of decentralization and localization as complex, cross-cutting, and multi-stakeholder reforms. LPSA aims to expand its focus to address multilevel governance constraints on International Women’s Economic Empowerment.

The Local Public Sector Alliance (LPSA) is a coalition of advocates for inclusive and efficient decentralization and localization. LPSA aims to elevate the debate on decentralization and localization by informing, connecting, and expanding the global community of practice and by shifting the focus of the community of practice from the global level to the country level. LPSA activities include the development of knowledge products; ongoing knowledge sharing efforts; the development of online courses; and laying the foundation for field-building efforts, particularly in Africa, Asia, and the Middle East and North Africa region.
