Given the broad diversity of LRG professions and public service delivery systems worldwide, as well as the availability of resources for LRG work, between 2016-2021 PSI has prioritised the following areas:
build a cohesive global identity, visibility and strength for the PSI LRG sector
address identified challenges working with LRG affiliates worldwide
influence relevant UN global policy fora
establish dialogue with LRG employers
develop specific LRG research, advocacy and communication
support LRG regional capacity and networks
advance dialogue with relevant allied organisations
Detailed reports were provided in PSI Executive Board (EB) and Steering Committee (SC) documents, in PSI Annual Reports, on the PSI website, and through the PSI LRG/Municipal Union Network Facebook closed group. Areas of work overlapping with overarching PSI priorities (e.g. trade union rights, gender equality, migrants and refugees, tax justice, utilities, climate change, etc.) have been led by and/or advanced in coordination with the PSI officers in charge. A summary of main achievements in the different areas is included in this report.
