Commonwealth Local Government Forum

Local government finance

Resourcing local government remains a central challenge to effective decentralisation and for local government to be able to deliver its mandate;  it is a key issue for CLGF members.

 

The 2017 Commonwealth Local Government Conference - Fit for the future: capacity and resources for effective local government - will focus on how local government is financed and how resources can be used most effectively.
