A targeted work programme
Increasing the role and influence of local government and its representative organisations in global governance;
In this era of networks, UCLG, as the global network of local and regional governments, needs to expand its contacts and allow for exchanges beyond its membership.
Becoming the main source of support for democratic, effective, innovative local government close to the citizen;
It needs to build on local and global knowledge and intelligence to ensure access to diverse views and innovative solutions.
UCLG’s work programme focuses on
Ensuring an effective and democratic global organisation.
In this regard, UCLG has a unique convening role as network of networks and as formal chair of the United Nations Committee of Local Authorities. UCLG members are also members of other thematic networks.
