Governance Uncovered is brought to you by the Governance and Local Development Institute at the University of Gothenburg, and supported by the Swedish Research Council. 

In this episode, we are joined by Ryan Knox, Souraya Hammoud, and Gunnar Andersson from SALAR International during the GLD-SALAR book launch event, featuring discussions around GLD’s recent edited volume, Decentralization, Local Governance, and Inequality in the Middle East and North Africa edited by Kristen Kao and Ellen Lust.

The panel addressed the topic of decentralization and local governance through discussion of practical experiences from working in Iraq, Lebanon, Iraq and elsewhere in the MENA Region. It focused on the strategic value of engaging in fostering decentralisation, local governance, and local sustainable development in the MENA Region.

Across different settings, these experiences showcase the continuous work of local officials, partners, and community members in building effective governance from the ground up.
