In collaboration with the OECD, the team finalized the preparation of the methodological guide and templates for country profiles and for data entry in English, French and Spanish. These supporting documents will serve to update qualitative and quantitative information in the 124 countries covered by the World Observatory. The new edition of the World Observatory report will also include up to 18 new country profiles, subject to data availability. The preparation of the next edition of the World Observatory report will start in early October 2021 with the mobilization of local experts to collect the data.

With a view to better sharing the wealth of information collected by the Observatory and raising global awareness on the issue of local finances, UCLG launched a Massive Online Open Course (MOOC) on Subnational Public Finance. Drawing on the findings of the World Observatory, it aims to provide an extensive overview of the main issues and trends related to local and regional finances across the world.
