The LCP and International County/ City Management Association (ICMA), a Washington-based international association of local government professionals, are in partnership in fostering technical professional exchanges between the two local government associations.
One of their specificactivities is the LCP – ICMA Professional Fellowship Program, through the Young Southeast Asian Leaders’ Initiative (YSEALI), which is sponsored by the US State Department.
