Association Capacity Building
VNG International has a longstanding record of advising Local Government Associations in over 40 countries. We have access to a vast resource of experience and know-how as a local government association in the Netherlands. We foster local ownership and encourage learning by doing rather than using standard blueprints. We build bridges between local government associations. We combine practical hands-on experience with long term strategic development advice.
