VNG International is the International Cooperation Agency of the Association of Netherlands Municipalities. We support decentralisation processes and facilitate decentralised cooperation. The organization strengthens local governments, their associations, training institutes and decentralisation task forces both in developing countries and in countries in transition. We develop high quality services such as benchmarks for local governments all over the world.
We believe that local authorities all over the world profit from looking across borders. Through worldwide connections and networks, often in close cooperation with local organisations and businesses, they learn from each other and develop solutions together.
We are part of the worldwide family of local governements. We are an experienced international service provider. The combination of these two roles enables us to cross-fertilize and to provide services for clients which better suit the needs of the beneficiaries. It is part of our identity: we are of, for, and together with local governments.
