Participants will have the opportunity to join constructive and transparent policy implementation discussions about how the LCS Policy is (or is not) affecting locally-led development in the markets development community. Additionally, participants will learn about evidence-based guidance and resources to help ensure locally-led development is contributing to the future of market systems worldwide.
