Description

• 

  The fundamental aim of ANCI’s activities is to represent and safeguard the municipalities’ interests, lobbying parliament, the government, regions, and Italian public administration and EU bodies.

  Specifically, ANCI:
  · participates, through its own representatives, in every institutional office where decisions concerning the interests of local authorities are taken
  · provides consultancy to municipalities, directly or through agreements or conventions
  · participates, as an employer, in the Italian Agency for Contractual Representation in the Public Sector (ARAN) in relation to the national labour contract for public employees
  · promotes studies and research on issues that affect municipalities and metropolitan cities, steering its own capacity to anticipate trends, changes and new critical situations in the public sector
  · facilitates initiatives to disseminate knowledge of institutions, to improve civic education and to encourage the participation of citizens in municipal life
  · encourages and co-ordinates the activities of ANCI members in the fields of international relations and co-operation.
