He Local Innovators Program 2022<\/a> came to an end, but the transformation in the cities involved is just beginning. After starting the process in April 2022, 61 teams from a dozen Latin American and African countries presented initiatives. Now it is the turn to put into action the transformative power of local unions between social and municipal leaders. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For six months, 120 social and municipal leaders from 23 countries worked side by side to present their final projects. <\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Throughout the program, called this year \u201cCities of Opportunities,\u201d hundreds of design teams were formed. Multiple networks were generated to collectively understand and change realities, and territories were intensively explored. Thus, solutions were devised and prototyped with the participation of the populations involved. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
