What Asociación Chilena de Municipalidades does

Asociación Chilena de Municipalidades (ACHM) is a non-profit civic association founded in May 1993 and granted legal personality in November 2012, representing 345 of Chile's 346 municipalities across all 16 administrative regions. The association is politically transversal, bringing together mayors and councilors from all political parties, and operates as the unified national voice of Chilean local governments before the central government, Congress, Senate, and international bodies. ACHM maintains 27+ technical commissions covering municipal domains such as housing, health, education, security, environment, and finance, and coordinates a parallel network of regional municipal associations in each of Chile's regions.

ACHM delivers a portfolio of services that includes advocacy and policy representation, a comprehensive Municipal Training System of webinars, courses, and congresses, the CONDOR geospatial decision-support platform developed with Gobierno de Santiago, a Project Bank portal, and a Legal Advisory Unit. The association is governed by a board of directors composed of sitting mayors, with the current president being Gustavo Alessandri Bascuñán, Mayor of Zapallar, succeeding Karina Delfino Mussa (2024-2025 period). Major convening events include the annual National Congress of Councilors (900+ participants in 2026) and the National Encounter of Mayors (200+ authorities in 2026).

ACHM operates on a non-profit, membership-based model in which municipalities join voluntarily and without charge. Funding is sourced from member municipality contributions and partnership support, and revenue figures are not publicly disclosed. The pricing position is fully free for member municipalities on core services, with no paid tiers, advertising, or transactional revenue model. Distribution is direct via the Santiago headquarters, regional associations, and digital platforms, with outreach amplified through press coverage on outlets such as CNN Chile and TVN.
