Changes at "Reviewing the roles and tools of the different parts of the network"

This session highlights why and how engaging local governments networks in knowledge exchange, advocacy, research and capacity building processes can be meaningful and beneficial, drawing on lessons learned from the UCLG and GTF universe.

City networks and associations serve as catalysts for change by facilitating collaboration and exchange among local and regional governments, fostering policy discussions among political leaders, and connecting them with academic and international partners with shared goals and challenges. Over the last decades, many local government associations, as well as UCLG, have changed their activities, amplifying services, connecting to programs, initiatives and networks that used to have a more thematic and pragmatic (project-oriented) focus.
