Building the capacity of municipalities most affected by the Syrian refugee crisis
The institute will act as a knowledge and expertise centre, and assist municipalities in the delivery of basic services. The three priorities are local economic development, urban planning and decentralization. The DGSI targets Jordanian local governments, and will also be available to Lebanese municipalities and Union staff.
Interactive and inclusive trainings fostering the development of municipal expertise are at the core of our approach.
