The National Institute of Local Government (NIST) is a state budget unit subordinate to the Minister of Interior and Administration established on 3 September 2015 to carry out tasks for the harmonious development of territorial self-government and raising the standards of its operation and conducting rese- arch and analyzes in the field of local government. The most important areas of the Institute's activity include preparation of expert opinions, opinions and assessments regarding the functioning of local government. NIST also conducts educational, training and publishing activities. By September 30, 2018, the Institute received almost 12,000 support from 1710 local government units, which accounted for 61% of the total number of local authorities. The National Institute of Local Self-Government, carrying out statutory tasks, publishes its own publications on the functioning of the local government and the bulletin. From the beginning of NIST's activity, dozens of expert opinions, legal opinions and monographs were published, as well as numerous studies and rese- arch reports. NIST also operates a digital repository. The real support for local government units is the e-platform run by the Natio- nal Institute of Local Self-government, enabling the preparatory service for newly hired employees of local government administration. The e-training available at https://e-szkolenia.nist.gov.pl constitutes the supplement to the existing, traditio- nal offer of stationary training. In the period January - September 2018, more than 7,000 representatives of JST participated in e-learning education in total. In the area of the Institute's activity there is also the promotion of good stan- dards in the field of quality management in the local government. In December 2016, NIST took over the function and tasks of the CAF National Coordinator implemented so far by the Ministry of Interior and Administration. All information regarding the activities of the National Institute of Local Self- -government is available on the Institute's website https://www.nist.gov.pl/ We encourage you to cooperate with us!
