About Us
Local and regional governments are uniquely positioned to ensure that EU funds address the specific needs of their communities.
They bring expertise, proximity, and an understanding of local priorities, which are crucial for tailoring measures to effectively support vulnerable households.
The Local Alliance urges member states to prioritise meaningful collaboration with regional and local governments, through locally developed plans such as SECAPs and Sustainable Urban Mobility Plans.
