The CLGF Pacific Project works with national and local government and other stakeholders in the Pacific region to strengthen local democracy and improve service delivery. Working with central governments, city and town councils in seven Pacific island countries (Fiji Island, Kiribati, Papua New Guinea, Samoa, Solomon Islands, Tonga and Vanuatu), CLGF is promoting and encouraging regional exchange and capacity building by strengthening institutions and improving service delivery at the sub-national level.
