Al-Masry: Women and youth vital to local governance
The article discusses the participation of women and youth in developing local governance in Jordan through the "They Lead the Way" project. This initiative aims to increase women's involvement in municipal work and strengthen the role of young people in shaping local policies. The Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Local Administration, Engineer Waleed Al-Masri, explained that the new Local Administration Law focuses on improving the performance of municipalities, clarifying roles and responsibilities, and promoting principles of governance, transparency, and accountability. It also seeks to expand community participation to better meet societal needs. He emphasized that engaging women and youth is a fundamental pillar for developing municipal services and achieving broader responsiveness to various segments of society. This is to be achieved through adopting tools that enable greater participation in decision-making and municipal services. During the meeting, interactive discussions were held with young women concerning the legal provisions, ways to enhance the role of women in municipal work, and ensuring equitable access to services. These efforts are part of supporting their capacities in monitoring, advocacy, and local governance.
