Local Responsibilities and Public Services
Description
LoGov aims to form a global research and training network and to provide solutions for local governments in order to address the changing urban-rural interplay and to manage its impacts. As a consortium composed of 10 European and 8 non-European partners, we seek to achieve the following specific objectives:
- to identify, evaluate, compare and share practices in five major local government areas: local responsibilities and public services, local financial arrangements, structure of local government, intergovernmental relations of local governments and people's participation in local decision-making;
- to encourage the effective application of these practices by local governments;
- to strengthen international and intersectoral collaborative research on local government;
- to enhance the skills and career perspectives of the staff exchanged between the project partners.
LoGov's methodological approach relies on a comprehensive comparative analysis that draws on findings from 15 countries or wider regions on six continents, the extensive involvement of local policy-makers through local government associations and a multi- and interdisciplinary approach that is facilitated by the Consortium's expertise in four disciplines: public law, political science, public administration and economics.
LoGov is a project funded by the European Commission under the Horizon 2020 MSCA RISE Programme and runs from February 2019 to September 2024.
The LoGov consortium is pleased to present this document which summarises the output of the research conducted regarding the identification, evaluation, and comparison of practices in the local government area of local responsibilities and public services.
