All Metropolitan, Municipal, and District Assemblies (MMDAs) in Ghana are members of NALAG. Membership extends to elected and appointed officials serving within these assemblies.

Individuals cannot join directly. Membership is institutional — each MMDA is represented through its elected officials and administrators who participate in NALAG’s programs and events.

NALAG operates through a National Executive Committee (NEC), regional branches, and a national secretariat. The NEC is elected during the General Conference, which is held every four years.

NALAG runs programs on capacity building, advocacy, policy research, and local development support. These include training workshops, policy dialogues, governance forums, and development projects across all regions of Ghana.
