BALADI is a seven-year program funded by USAID. It aims at supporting municipalities that demonstrate a real commitment to participatory, equitable, and effective decentralized local governance and economic development. The goal of the program is to conduct a nationwide competitive process annually to support municipalities, unions of municipalities and clusters of municipalities that illustrate a strong commitment to change and local development and that generate innovative solutions to the provision of public services, citizen engagement, and economic issues facing their communities. Projects should improve reliable and affordable public services, expand broad citizen participation, particularly youth and women, and advance social capital.
