National & Regional Campaigns  National campaigns are designed to translate good governance principles into practice.  National campaigns are usually initiated through a campaign launch: a public event to secure the commitments of all national partners - national governments, local governments, other stakeholder groups - to good urban governance.  The launch recognizes past achievements in good urban governance and signals the beginning of a new series of activities to further improve the quality of life in cities.
