Project Impacts (Sustainable Development)

They stand to enhance the image and reputation of local authorities and serve as a critical sources of information for their members, central government and outside partners.

Role of LGAs as intermediary for best-practices transfer - The way forward -

Local Government Associations (LGAs) aims to strengthen capacity and to represent as well as to bring local governments’ voice and interest to national government.

Associations thus become key institutions responsible for facilitating knowledge sharing among local authorities in their respective countries

Support from LGAs to facilitate the transfer will ensure sustainability of the exchange process

Given their critical functions, LGA needs to develop a strong governance andmanagement in their internal organization.

UCLG ASPAC is keen to capacitateLGAs towards better governance in Asia Pacific
