LGRDP II
>
Palestina
In an overall challenging socio-, economic and political context, local
governance is a driving force for promoting both state-building and local
economic development in Palestine.
Since launching the "Local Government Reform and Development
Program (LGRDP)", Belgium has invested to facilitate and strengthen
collaboration mechanisms between local government units, with a particular
focus on the smaller local authorities. The collaboration between villages
through Joint Service Councils has enabled small local governments to join
forces and deliver better quality services to their citizens, engage
better with civil society and the private sector, and promote local economic
development.
In some cases, responding to local dynamics also evolves toward the
development of new municipalities. This cooperation between local authorities is instrumental in enabling citizens to thrive in a rapidly urbanizing
Palestine.
This video showcases the 10 years of LGRDP through the eyes of
the local actors and communities.
