Baladiyah Meter Portal

〡Funded by: UNDP through the TEA3 Programme

To achieve Goal 2 of APLA Strategic Plan (“Contribute to enabling LGUs to provide equitable and inclusive services to citizens”), APLA launched the pilot phase of the Baladiyah Meter portal, which serves, as an innovative digital tool to support LGUs in developing transparent management practices and scale up interaction between LGUs and citizens.

〡Objective: Enhance transparency and accountability by providing accurate and up-to-date information on LGU activities, plans and achievements, enabling effective public monitoring and engagement.

〡Target group: Citizens, civil society groups, and LGUs

〡Number of municipalities participating in the pilot phase: 5

〡Activities:

⚙️Developed the pilot phase of the platform

⚙️Tested the platform functions in 5 municipalities

⚙️Collected user feedback to improve the platform

⚙️Provided training to participating municipalities on the use of the platform

⚙️Launched the platform

〡Future vision: Extend the platform to all LGUs in Palestine after the pilot phase is completed and the system upgraded on the basis of feedback and field experiences. This should ensure that the platform is readily operational at the national level as a standard tool to enhance transparency and accountability.
