The Office of Local Sustainability's (ES/LS) Local Works program supports countries on their Journey to Self-Reliance by providing resources that enable locally led development. From April 24-26, principals and staff from thirteen missions and Washington participated in the inaugural Local Works Global Workshop in Manila, Philippines. The workshop strengthened the Local Works Community of Practice as missions in various stages of implementation shared successes, challenges, and learning from their Local Works activities and approaches. E3/LS is currently reviewing mission submissions for Round Four of Local Works, which will be announced this summer.
