United Cities and Local Governments is active within Platforma, created in 2008 under the aegis of the CEMR, the European Section of UCLG, in order to facilitate dialogue between European institutions and local and regional authorities.
As the European Commission is currently redefining its policy of support to local and regional authorities in partner countries, UCLG is inviting local leaders to take part to the consultation organised by Platforma. The new policy is expected to be released early 2013, through a Communication entitled ‘Local authorities in development’.
Local elected representatives, local civil servants, and professionnals working with local governments have until Thursday 15 November to answer the questionnaire set up by Platforma. The online survey is launched in the context of the consultation organised by the network on the future EU strategy of support to local and regional authorities in partner countries.
