The primary goals of the collaboration include providing training opportunities tailored for UCLG members and equipping local government officials with the necessary skills and knowledge to tackle contemporary challenges effectively. This involves offering special rates for training courses, developing curricula rooted in real-world examples, and facilitating staff collaboration in training programs.
