- participates, through its own representatives, in every institutional office where decisions concerning the interests of local authorities are taken
- provides consultancy to municipalities, directly or through agreements or conventions
- participates, as an employer, in the Italian Agency for Contractual Representation in the Public Sector (ARAN) in relation to the national labour contract for public employees
- promotes studies and research on issues that affect municipalities and metropolitan cities, steering its own capacity to anticipate trends, changes and new critical situations in the public sector
- facilitates initiatives to disseminate knowledge of institutions, to improve civic education and to encourage the participation of citizens in municipal life
- encourages and co-ordinates the activities of ANCI members in the fields of international relations and co-operation.
