This toolkit has been designed by the LG Alliance with the support of DFID. It contains tips, guidance and resources to help councils and their partners improve the impact of their international development activities.

Local councils are all about delivering positive outcomes for the people and communities they serve. The best councils do this by looking outwards as well as in. They involve people and communities, share their expertise, learn lessons from others, maximise the value of partnerships and deliver great value for money. In short – they interact. 

In this toolkit we showcase the different types of international development activity that councils can get involved in, highlight the benefits to councils and communities (in the right menu bar) and include guidance throughout on how best to approach and deliver it.

If you would like more detailed guidance on what's available in the toolkit, download our Interaction Factsheet on How to use the Interaction Toolkit.
