#tagcoding means that one uses standardized hashtags to relate online information to specific topics in order to structure it and retrieve it easily.
This page introduces systematically defined hashtags for local government units in Latvia.
#tagcoding hashtags cover another four topic dimensions:
- the sustainable development goals and targets,
- economic activities,
- functions of government, and
- products and services.
Online tools for looking up a topic's coding hashtag support a rapid classification of shared online content. In a #tag2wiki process, the coded content can then be retrieved for curation in local language wikis (that have been structured using the five topic dimensions).
Local information and communication channels are essential, yet not trivial via social media.
That's why knowing and using tagcoding hashtags will improve communications in the public sphere of Latvia.
These are the subdivisions of Latvia with their #LVlgu (#WWlgu) hashtag, and the available open data, as provided via the World Data Atlas by Knoema:

NUTS 1, NUTS 2 and NUTS 3 codes have been defined in Commission Delegated Regulation 2019/1755 of 8 August 2019 amending the Annexes to Regulation (EC) No 1059/2003 of the European Parliament and of the Council on the establishment of a common classification of territorial units for statistics (NUTS).

For the specific challenges and resources per sector in the country, see the industry and government buttons in the top menubar. When a sector is particularly relevant in a province or municipality, then the provincial or municipal dashboard will also refer to the sector map, and vice versa.
For each sector there are global resources listed at sector maps and government function maps in the global Actor Atlas. Achievements and initiatives for a sector are addressed at the several administrative units (tab dashboards) where there is a reference to a sector.

Scope of the Book: The initiatives concluded, planned, or ongoing in Latvia involving sector actors listed below, national and international actors (see the national Actor Map), and compliant with local, national and international statutes (laws).
Parties in the initiatives: The public authorities and private entities from Latvia.
MDG Good Practices are available from The Good Practice Databank at UN Development Group.
Constraints: At the Constraint Dictionary common constraints facing development initiatives are classified by COFOG/COPNI class, and dependencies and impact spheres are indicated. The constraint map is under construction. The degree to which a constraint matters to local development, and is (can be) reduced by an initiative, is measured by indicators which are mapped, also by COFOG/COPNI class, at the Indicator Dictionary (under construction).
Achieving synergies across initiatives Initiative management is often the weakest link in the (strategy) execution chain. Traditional project and programme planning and communications approaches insufficiently use the bundling facilities that internet and wikis offer. As a precursor for an initiative atlas, the Latvia Development Book aims to list all development initiatives and cluster them according to their COFOG or ISIC classification. In this way, proponents and stakeholders of new initiatives can easily discover what initiatives exist already. Suitable cooperative agreements can be made and double or competing efforts can be avoided early in the planning cycle.
Initiatives by Latvia public authorities and private sector must both avoid the fragmentation of public resources and ensure a sufficient coverage of all functions of government for all members of their constituency. The Latvia Local Development Books support striking such a balance.
As indicated in Reform of the Multilateral Development System: Call for a High-Level Commission (J.F. Linn, The Brookings Institution) both the rapidly rising number of multilateral agencies, and the declining average project size reinforce the risks of aid fragmentation, a lack of focus on scaling up development impact, and rising transactions costs.
Initiative books, used both by the multilateral agencies and provincial development stakeholders will help mitigate the risks of aid fragmentation.
Moreover, by adding initiatives from Latvia here, the smaller project size should not be overstraining the limited absorptive capacity of poor recipient communities, it should not lead to inefficient communications with stakeholders, and it could be coupled to a more equitable spreading of the public resources.
