Looking for an opportunity of exchange and peer learning to enhance local governance in MENA region? SALAR International invites you to apply to the Inclusive Local Governance Programme (INLOG) tailored for local government actors in the MENA region.
INLOG is a programme that provides an opportunity to enhance capacity and be part of a ‘Community of practice’ on local governance and local development in the MENA region. The programme is designed and implemented by the Swedish Association of Local Authorities and Regions (SALAR) to enhance regional and local governance practice in the MENA region and provide support to overcome the challenges that municipalities and regions have to face, such as, local and regional development, service delivery, citizens participation, digitalization and climate adaptation.
The programme is financed by the Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency (Sida), based on the Swedish government’s strategy for regional development cooperation in the MENA region.
The programme brings together local and national government practitioners such as public servants at local, regional and/or national level, participants from academia, think thanks and civil society organisations (CSOs). The program is aimed for Algeria, Jordan, Libya, Morocco, and Syria and will start at two different times in 2024. In order to start with the programme the last week in June the participant needs to apply before the 21/5. In order to start the programme the last week in August the participants have to apply before the 15/6.
INLOG will involve a total of 50 strategically selected practitioners and reform advocates and a country working group for each included country will engage in a process of collaborative policy analysis as part of their capacity building. International and regional experts as well as mentors will be assigned to facilitate discussions and coach the national working groups that will be conformed in each country.
