2021 UN Online Solutions Dialogues on
Infrastructure Asset Management.
The Online Solutions Dialogues (OSDs) will communicate the basic concepts of infrastructure asset management. They are primarily geared towards central and local government officials involved in asset management on a day-to-day basis. Other stakeholders are invited to attend on a first come and first serve basis.
The OSDs will have three thematic rounds are: (1) Introduction to
Asset Management, (2) Data for Asset Management, and (3) Crisis-Resilient Asset
Management, each building on the previous. Individuals who attend all three
rounds will receive a certificate of participation. Successful participation
and certification will make governments eligible to apply for further UN
technical assistance, including through the UNCDF International Municipal
Investment Fund. More information about the OSDs, including the link to register in
your region, can be found online here: un-assetmanagementworkshops.org
The OSDs will offer participants a lively and collaborative
environment in which to learn asset management concepts and apply them to their
own local and national contexts. Each two-day workshop will last about 3.5
hours per day and comprise of short live/video lectures, interactive exercises
and group discussion. Exercises will be conducted using virtual breakout rooms
in Zoom.
The OSDs will draw on the upcoming UN/DESA-UNCDF publication Managing Infrastructure Assets for Sustainable
Development: A Handbook for Local and National Governments,
which will be freely available beginning 1 February. Handbook translations into
Bangla, French, Nepali, Spanish, Chinese and Swahili are to come.
Existing tools that have been piloted in Bangladesh, Nepal,
Tanzania and Uganda – the Asset Management Diagnostic Tool and Action
Plans – are available online. Workshop participants will get a firsthand
look at how to implement these simple yet strategic tools for more effective
asset management.
Why ‘Solutions’? Participants will gain insight into what is (and
is not) working in neighboring cities or countries so that they might replicate
successful models. Insights will be drawn from panels and presentations during
the workshop, plus individual/group exercises that encourage reflection and
verbal exchange of experiences. The idea is also to share challenges and
concerns that require discussion of potential solutions.
