‘Committed to strengthening democratic local government worldwide’
VNG International is the International Cooperation Agency of the Association of Netherlands Municipalities. We support decentralisation processes and facilitate decentralised cooperation. We strengthen local governments, their associations, training institutes and decentralisation task forces both in developing countries and in countries in transition. In addition, our Service Bureau Europe assists municipalities from the Netherlands and other EU countries in accessing European subsidies and in forming knowledge networks.
We have project offices in various countries and work with a large group of local government experts with broad international experience.
Our three daughter companies, set up in close cooperation with the respective national associations of local authorities, are located in the Czech Republic, South Africa, and Mexico. In close cooperation with the city of The Hague and UCLG, VNG International established the The Hague Academy for Local Governance.
