Celebrating 25 Years of Strengthening Local Democracy
This year, SALAR International proudly celebrates 25 years of advancing local governance and democracy around the world. Over the past quarter century, we’ve partnered with municipalities, associations, and institutions to create lasting change and build stronger, more inclusive communities.
To mark this milestone, we have produced a special publication, highlighting some of the key achievements, stories of development, and the people and partners who have shaped our journey. It highlights our commitment to advancing local solutions to global challenges and underscores the vital role that local governments play in driving sustainable development and democracy.
