The ''League of Sister Cities for the Advancement of Public Policy'' ([[Burgoignesc language|Burg]]: ''Ligua de ciutats sœrres per l'avancament de la politique publique (LCSAPP)'', [[Pelaxian]]: ''Liga de Ciudades Hermanas para el Avance de la Política Pública (LCHAPP)'' is a sorority of [[Twinned cities|sister cities]] that not only engage in the [[Twinned cities|sister cities program]] as a ceremonial cultural and commercial ties, but also in an exchange of civil servants to develop, share, and promote best practices. The League was formed in [[1997]] when the sister cities of [[Agrila]] and [[Cities_of_Burgundie#Nostrestran|Stearlinge Arch]] signed a staffing exchange agreement to fund the exchange of the Deputy Director of Public Works, the commander of Police Special Operations, and the Deputy Director of Planning between the two cities for a period of 3 months. They would then report back to their home city and discuss recommended changes to their departments operations, if applicable. The program has since grown into an international body used by many countries. The League is now also a permanent body with 72 permanent staff whose salaries are paid for by dues paid by the membership cities. There is an annual international summit of the league that rotates between member cities. 
==History==
The League of Sister Cities for the Advancement of Public Policy (LCSAPP/LCHAPP) was created in [[1997]] from a first of its kind staffing exchange agreement between the sister cities of [[Agrila]], [[Pelaxia]], and [[Cities_of_Burgundie#Nostrestran|Stearlinge Arch]], [[Burgundie]]. The pilot program inspired other cities to follow suit, leading to the League's formal establishment in [[2001]]. The League experienced rapid growth in the following years, expanding its membership beyond [[Burgundie]] and [[Pelaxia]] and establishing a permanent secretariat to manage its operations. The first annual international summit was held in [[[2011]], with 18 cities from 12 countries in attendance. From 2016 onwards, the League focused on consolidating its programs and maximizing its impact, launching a digital platform in [[2021]] to facilitate knowledge and best practice sharing. Today, with 72 permanent staff members and a robust network of sister cities, the League is the leader in municipal governance and public policy innovation through its collaborative exchanges and annual international summit.
