The European Commission announced the 57 members of the Global Gateway Civil Society and Local Authorities Dialogue Platform, and the platform held its first meeting with Jutta Urpilainen, European Commissioner for International Partnerships, at the margins of the Global Gateway Forum.
The platform will assist the European Commission in ensuring that Global Gateway as a values-based strategy contributes to sustainable investments, delivering on its goals in line with its principles.
The dialogue platform will bring together civil society organisations (CSOs), local authorities (LAs), and regional, global and European civil society to exchange on horizontal policy issues, including addressing inequalities, in context of the Global Gateway strategy.
The platform will be a space for civil society and local authorities to provide feedback on Global Gateway rollout within the different investment priorities and geographic contexts, and to exchange with the European Commission on opportunities to engage in country-level Global Gateway partnerships, complementing consultations locally.
