The Hague Academy for Local Governance - Think Globally, Act Locally

Experience

Joining our training programmes means experiencing governance from a typically local point of view! Theory combined with visits to projects and organisations where you can see in practice what you have learned during the course.

Expertise

Our courses are facilitated by our dedicated and professional staff. Moreover, we work with a broad range of experts who have international experience in specific interest fields.

Exchange

People involved in local governance from all parts of the world participate in our practice oriented training courses. Whether as a mayor, a civil servant or a professional at a donor or development organisation they learn from each other’s experiences and ideas.

Helping to Strengthen Your Community

Real development starts at the local level. Our training and education programmes support individuals who strive to improve service delivery, innovate local economic development, and support the rule of law. If you are a development officer, municipality official, regional civil servant or ministry-level professional, then join one of our training programmes and prepare to learn and experience governance from a local point of view. This is where change happens but it begins with you!
