Good Practice Examples

In India, the Sustainable Urban Development - Smart Cities Programme of the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationalen Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH aims to empower local governments and institutions in raising awareness about and developing capacity for monitoring and governance of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The project has developed an SDG framework and dashboard for tracking SDGs within a city. In light of the COVID-19 pandemic, the programme has examined approaches for integrating pandemics into city disaster management plans so that guidelines for pandemic-resilient plans can be prepared. The project has examined the relief ecosystem established by states and cities during the COVID-19 crisis, and recommends strategies to create supportive conditions for decentralised relief operations.
