*Background*
United Cities and Local Governments Asia Pacific (UCLG ASPAC) is the
largest regional section of UCLG, an amalgamation of International Union of
Local Authorities (IULA), United Towns Organization (UTO), and World
Association of the Major Metropolises (METROPOLIS). UCLG was established on
1 January 2004 and is headquartered in Barcelona, Spain. Following this
unification, UCLG ASPAC was established in Taipei on 14 April 2004, as the
new entity of IULA ASPAC.
UCLG ASPAC is the key knowledge management hub on local government issues
in the Asia-Pacific region. It promotes democratic local government,
supports cooperation between cities, local governments and their
associations, and facilitates programmes, network and partnerships to
develop the capacity of local governments and the associations. Moreover,
UCLG ASPAC represents local governments politically within the
international community, and with the United Nations and its agencies. It
also promotes inclusive societies which safeguard equality, social and
economic justice, and sustainable community development. UCLG ASPAC is
engaged in all relevant thematic fields for nurturing sustainable
development comprising local economic development, climate change, disaster
resiliency, culture, strategic planning, decentralisation, municipal
finance, gender equality, women leadership and empowerment and good
governance.
LOCALISE SDGs Project, financially supported by the European Union and
implemented by UCLG ASPAC in cooperation with APEKSI, aims to empower Local
Authorities (LAs) and Associations of Local Authorities (ALAs) in Indonesia
for enhanced governance and more effective development policies and to

attainment. LOCALISE SDGs targets 30 LAs (16 provinces and 14
municipalities) and 5 ALAs (APEKSI, APKASI, APPSI, ADEKSI, and ADKASI).
