Chair CEO workshop discussions for London Development Agency
websitebuilder-hub • Oct 23, 2015
OpenCities was asked to chair a day long workshop comprising the CEOs of 5 sub-regional business partnerships in the London region. The partnerships were partly funded by the Mayor of London’s development agency the London Development Agency (LDA).
Their key task was to support and ultimately retain businesses in London, including new arrivals, and hence play a role that complimented and supported that of the main London inward investment agency, Think London.
OpenCities facilitated the discussion between the 5 CEOS, capturing key insights and recommendations as well as ensuring that the conversation remained structured and on track. Following the workshop OpenCities developed a report together with a number of recommendations aimed at addressing the core concerns of the partnerships. The report was very well received and its recommendations formed the basis for subsequent action by all 5 partnerships the majority of which received a second contract from the LDA.

CPFs help to ensure that the World Bank's country driven model is systematic, evidence-based, selective, and focused on ending extreme poverty and increasing shared prosperity in a sustainable manner. CPFs lay out the main country development goals that WBG aims to help the country achieve, and propose a selective program of indicative WBG interventions for this purpose. More specific CPF objectives are derived from these country development goals. These are then used to monitor the program during the CPF cycle and evaluate it at the end. Performance and Learning Reviews (PLRs) are prepared mid-way through the CPF cycle. PLRs identify and capture lessons, and determine midcourse corrections in the CPF objectives and program of interventions.
The goal of GRP is to help communities in the Sahel, Horn of Africa, South Asia and South East Asia to better adapt to climatic shocks and thrive in a more resilient future.
