Committees and Working Groups
The Committees prepare and implement policies within priority areas, as defined by the Executive Bureau and the work programme for the current period. Each Committee can establish one or more Working Groups. The Working Groups develop proposals and/or cooperation initiatives between local governments and their associations in order to enrich the discussions within UCLG.
The standing Committees are:
- Decentralisation and Local Self-Government
- Local Finance and Development
- Culture
- Development Cooperation & City Diplomacy
- Committee on Social Inclusion, Participative Democracy and Human Rights
- Gender Equality
- Mediterranean Interregional Commission
- Millennium Development Goals
- Peripheral Cities
- Urban Mobility
- Digital and Knowledge-Based Cities
- Urban Strategic Planning
The four working groups are:
- Capacity and Institution Building (CIB-ACB platform)
- Migration and Co-Development
- The local dimension of the Alliance of Civilisations
- Responsible Tourism and Sustainable Development
