I strongly believe that local governments worldwide play the most important role in improving the lives of citizens. In doing so, we can learn a lot from each other. I consider it a great privilege to be able to contribute to strengthening the capacity of these governments and find great reward in the contribution we bring together to a better and sustainable future.
