Networking in regional development

Description

Networking in regional development involves establishing and strengthening collaborative relationships among local governments, businesses, community organizations, and other stakeholders to coordinate resources, share knowledge, and align development efforts. This strategy aims to overcome fragmentation, reduce duplication, and address regional disparities by fostering joint initiatives, facilitating information exchange, and leveraging collective capacities. Effective networking accelerates problem-solving, enhances innovation, and ensures more equitable and sustainable regional growth through integrated planning and action.

Implementation

The United Nations Centre for Regional Development has established a network for information exchange so that developing countries can have access to information relating to regional development planning.
