Welcome to the Local Economic Development Knowledge portal!

This website is an online space for sharing the experiences and resources of people and organizations supporting local economic development processes at the local level. We would like to think of this space as your virtual work place, where you can find and share several resources relevant for LED practitioners and promoters; share your experiences with colleagues in government, NGOs, donor agencies, international organizations, research centres, think tanks and academia all over the world; and keep yourself updated on the latest development in the field of local economic development.

By joining this virtual space you will be able to:

• Download and upload your learning documents and training tools, and discus them on the "comment section" below each document, blog, tool or news.
• Download and upload best practices and information on local economic development projects around the world
• Open a blog on any topic you consider relevant for local economic development
• Meet colleagues working on the promotion, design, implementation, monitoring and evaluation of local economic development initiatives
• Be informed on the latest news concerning local economic development
• Visualize new items that have been recently posted

And much more! Just make sure you are registered and logged in first.

All the materials that can be found in this website are organized in three general sections: 1) Resources, where you can find general LED materials; 2) Projects & Initiatives, where you will find materials related to specific LED strategies; and 3) Courses & Conferences, where you will find announcements and information regarding relevant courses and conferences on LED. Explore each section to learn more about what you can find in them.

The "tag cloud" on the right side of your screen are user-generated and show you the most used "keywords" of the resources and blogs that can be found within the platform.

Please explore this site and if you need further help please contact Monica Lisa at m.lisa@itcilo.org
