Members of the CLGF Executive Committee have called on Commonwealth Heads of Government to maintain their commitment to the Aberdeen Agenda: principles on good practice for local democracy and good governance.

The Executive Committee, meeting for the first time in London on 19-20 October, also called on the Heads of Government to recognise CLGF’s work in promoting local democracy, good governance and local economic development (LED) in the Pacific and other regions of the Commonwealth, and to welcome the outcomes of the recent Commonwealth Local Government Conference in Cardiff, Wales, UK, on local government’s role in promoting and facilitating LED.
