‘The Global Compact Guide for Local Government’ is the english language version of ’La Guía del Pacto Mundial para Gobiernos Locales, Convirtiendo el Pacto Mundial en fuente de Buenas Prácticas’ .

The guide is designed to assist local governments and their public entities in the implementation of the Global Compact, particularly for establishing programmes and actions with concrete achievements around the Ten Principles and its four main themes of human rights, labour, the environment and anti corruption.

The translation and new publication was developed by the Global Compact Cities Programme in 2014; a partnership with the Regional Support Centre Latin America and the Caribbean.

The original ´la Guia´ was developed by IMCA Latinoamerica in 2011, in collaboration with the Regional Support Centre Latin America and the Caribbean and Fundacio Forum de les Cultures, Barcelona. The English language version of the Guide features the photography of leading Mexican photographer Gerardo Borbolla in recognition of the original publication´s latin american roots.
