Municipalities stand out as institutions in great need of ongoing development for the governance of their institutional procedures. In recent years, there has been a restructuring of many local institutional systems and municipalities with the goal of boosting performance efficiency and enhancing municipal services. AUDI aims to analyze urban governance practices, evaluate the methods and tools adopted by Arab municipalities in management, and capacity development. This focus encompasses topics such as the transition towards decentralization, the development of participatory approaches in municipal decision-making through councils and relevant committees, as well as collaboration between municipalities in delivering services to the population.
