    793034324893-09 First registered on 02 Dec 2016

    Goals / Remit

    CLGF works to promote and strengthen democratic local government across the Commonwealth and to encourage the exchange of best practice – through conferences and events, technical assistance projects and research.

    Working with national and local governments to support the development of democratic values and good local governance. As a Commonwealth organisation, CLGF draws on the influential network of the Commonwealth that provides a solid basis for its programmes and activities. As an associated organisation officially recognised by Commonwealth Heads of Government, CLGF is well-placed to influence policy development and lead on democracy and good governance at local level.

    Main EU files targeted

    CLGF focuses specifically on files and policies relating to local government and development. CLGF has a Framework Partnership Agreement in place with EC to work to implement the Communication on Local Authorities, is part of the Policy Forum for Development and involved with other initiatives including the GPDPE. CLGF is in receipt of grant funding from the EC for particular projects, notably under the Non State Actors and Local Government Thematic budget lines. CLGF works extensively on development cooperation policy and suport to sub-national government and decentralisation.

    Meetings

    2 meetings found. Download meetings

    The list below only covers meetings held since November 2014 with commissioners, their cabinet members or directors-general at the European Commission; other lobby meetings with lower-level staff may have taken place, but the European Commission doesn't proactively publish information about these meetings. For more information about which commissioner is responsible for which portfolio, check out this link: https://commissioners.ec.europa.eu/index_en All information below comes from European Commission web pages.

    1 July 2024: We have noted that some meetings are appearing in duplicate, ie. some meetings seem to be listed twice. This seems to be because the Commission changes some element of a meeting data after the meeting has first been listed, which causes LobbyFacts to register it as a new meeting. We are investigating further.
