The mission of LOGIN is to promote the professional development of local government officials and their staff and to strengthen the capabilities of organizations that support the reform of public administration at the local level. LOGIN will do this by facilitating the exchange of timely and useful information at the municipal, regional and national level throughout the countries of Central and Eastern Europe and the former Soviet Union.

Local governments in emerging democracies in Central and Eastern Europe and the former Soviet Union are seeking assistance. With limited budgets, they are working to provide services, promote economic development, communicate effectively with citizens, and operate more efficiently. The autonomy of these local governments largely depends on their ability to find solutions to local problems without seeing increased central government funding as the only option.

To assist these local governments, numerous municipal associations, foundations, and corporations have emerged throughout the region. LOGIN offers these organizations and local government officials a new way to share information, develop networks, and improve the services that they provide to municipalities.
