From Global Policy to Local Action
- How GC Local Networks can engage on issue areas
The primary function of a Local Network is to promote the Global Compact principles and facilitate their implementation by participants. They undertake a variety of activities to do so, including identifying local proioities relating to reponsible business, organising learning and dialogue events, mobilising collective action efforts and motivating participating companies to develop partnership projects to contribute to the UN Millennium Development Goals. Additionally, networks increasingly serve as engagement platforms for participants, be it for moving innovative solutions upstream for global replication and multiplication, or be it for taking global dialogue issues down to the level of implementation.
