Urban Contact Point

The Local Government Division plays a key role in supporting local authorities in engaging with the European Urban Initiative. It helps the local councils access EU funding for sustainable urban development projects, ensuring alignment with EU policies like the Green Deal and the Urban Agenda. The division also facilitates knowledge sharing by organizing training and networking events where Maltese local councils can exchange best practices with other European cities. It advocates for Malta’s urban interests in EU decision-making processes, ensuring that local challenges are represented.
