Global policies and the story of development are too often defined by the national perspective and fail to take into consideration the needs, experiences and skills of the communities. Through the Global Observatory on Local Democracy and Decentralization (GOLD), our organization works to establish a framework for monitoring and reporting on the progress made worldwide towards the implementation of the global sustainability agendas, with the objective of highlighting the efforts and potentialities of local and regional governments to address the global challenges facing our societies.
