Al-Azzam Highlights Baladiyati's Role in Local Governance
The article highlights the efforts of the Irbid Greater Committee and the We Rise for Sustainable Development Center in organizing the "Baladyati" convoy to promote citizen participation in discussions about the Local Administration Law for 2026. The convoy aims to simplify the concepts of the law, raise awareness among citizens about its key provisions, and listen to their opinions and aspirations related to services and local development. Among the main points emphasized by officials is that the law seeks to expand the powers of municipal councils, adding more than 49 new competencies, include neighborhood committees to increase community involvement, reduce the age required for candidacy, and increase women's representation. Discussions continue over some provisions, such as the educational qualification for candidacy. The convoy will visit 10 governorates and gather the opinions of over 8,000 citizens, before transforming these insights into recommendations for the parliamentary council and relevant authorities to support popular participation in the legislative process—culminating an initiative to enhance dialogue around the management of local communities.
