Local authorities and training for national and local development in the United Arab Republic

Abstract

The mainspring of apportionment of public services between central and regional authorities is the need for co-ordination between governmental and popular efforts in the management of these services. It is evident that the standard of local welfare services is reflected in the national over-all standard. Local participation in the creation and management of services lessens the burden on the national government machinery and thus frees more talent to take further steps along the path of progress.
