Objectives:
The ELoGE programme aims to achieve the following objectives:
- Improve and enhance good democratic governance of local governments.
- Promote the democratic participation of citizens in the public life of their municipality.
- Support municipalities in understanding their strengths and weaknesses in decision-making and delivery of public services.

Mode of operation
The ELoGE Programme is divided into 4 phases:
Phase 1 – Application
The municipality wishing to receive ELoGE recognition must submit its application to the national/regional platform accredited to award ELoGE
Phase 2 – Implementation
Once a candidate, the municipality must apply the ELoGE assessment tools:
- Self-Assessment through the Matrix of 12 Principles/Benchmarks.
- Administration of the 3 questionnaires (i.e. local administrators, municipal employees, citizens)
Phase 3 – Evaluation
The National Evaluation Platform (a committee of experts that analyse the final data) deliberates the list of the municipalities that will be awarded the ELoGE Label.
Phase 4 – Award Ceremony
During an Award Ceremony the accredited body, aided by the members of the National Evaluation Platform assigns the ELoGE Label to the municipalities that have successfully completed the Programme and demonstrated compliance with the 12 Principles.
