The CILGD organisational tree, drawn out level by level

CILGD sits above the local-government layer in every country, but the way it connects to that layer is different in every region. This explorer follows the same drill-down used in our internal structure document — Region, sub-region, country, and (where the partner UCLG section publishes them) the national associations representing local government.

Click any region to expand its sub-regions, then drill into a country to see its national association, sub-national tier, and municipality count. Country pages are being built progressively, starting with the largest member countries.

The directory

Drill down: Region → Sub-region → Country

One path is open at each level. Selecting a sibling collapses the previous one so the active path stays clear.

Sources & methodology

Drawn from each region’s UCLG section directory

Membership figures and national associations are taken from CEMR, UCLG Africa, FLACMA, and UCLG ASPAC member directories as published in late 2025. Counts are the partner section’s own figures and may differ from national statistical-office figures by a small margin. Country associations are listed where the partner directory names them; absence here means the partner section has not yet published a national association for that country.
