Special Partnership with the European Union
The first generation of the Special Partnership between UCLG and the European Union is coming to an end in 2022 and will be reconducted until 2027. UCLG World Secretariat has been active with the other Framework Partnership Agreements associations, including Platforma, CLGF, AIMF and UCLG-Africa in order to build the basis of the second-generation agreement. The UCLG World Secretariat is currently preparing the foundations of the next agreement, which will be closely linked with the renewed UCLG Strategic Plan for the next mandate.
Between May and November, UCLG has been actively participating to the European Commission and PFD consultations on global challenges, regional programming and inclusive multilateralism, and has brought the views of the members based on the report of the constituency to UN75.
