This document summarizes a presentation on emerging paradigms in decentralized development cooperation. It discusses legal frameworks for DDC, key actors like regions and municipalities, geographical and sectoral priorities, challenges like multi-level governance and evaluation mechanisms. It then overviews case studies on DDC from Tuscany, Flanders, the Basque Country, and France focusing on localizing SDGs, healthcare, gender, and water respectively.
