Networks
Global Network for Reliable Governments or Reliable 360
It is a space of commitment of regional and local governments of the world and collaborative
work between government, business, academia, citizenship and civil society that allows
promoting a RELIABLE institutional strengthening, SUSTAINABLE economic growth and
INTEGRAL social development, through the construction of common objectives, in a framework
of agile, adaptable and scalable action, taking as a management model and as a common
language the international standard ISO 18091 to implement the objectives of the United
Nations 2030 Agenda.
In this space we live, support, mature, stimulate, research, learn, observe, understand,
undertake, collaborate, invest, design, achieve, communicate, dream, and recognize progress in
order to build a collective political intelligence that will allow us to continue moving towards the
common good.
