PLATFORMA is the pan-European coalition of local and regional governments – and their associations – active in city to city and region to region development cooperation.

Since its creation in 2008, PLATFORMA has been representing more than 100,000 local and regional governments.

All are key players in international cooperation for sustainable development.

The aim of PLATFORMA is to facilitate the exchange of knowledge and mutual learning, but also to strengthen the specific role of local and regional governments in development policies.

In 2015 & 2022, PLATFORMA signed Framework Partnership Agreements (FPAs) with the European Commission (DG INTPA).
