The Committee on Social Inclusion and Participative Democracy aims to encourage the exchange of experiences on social inclusion policies in cooperation with organized civil society. The UCLG Committee brings together cities that have been active in the Forum of Local Authorities for Social Inclusion (FAL), which was established in 2001 during the World Social Forum.

The Committee encourages debate and the exchange of experiences between its members on subjects such as participative democracy, development of programmes for social inclusion, promotion of social justice, public services for the defense and protection of cities, democratization of the media, global citizenship, human rights and immigration, and the strengthening of relationships between organized civil society and local authorities.
