Project description

Invite three female members of Moroccan local councils to visit Australia, for learning about local governance and to establish a network of exchanges with their Australian counterparts. The delegation will hold two public events to talk about the role of women in the Advanced Regionalization Moroccan System.

The three women are newly-elected members of their local councils. They will greatly benefit from visiting Australian local government councils. The three women plan to play a leading role in effecting change and revolutionise services provided within their local areas and be a model to other local councils. This is a great opportunity for the three women to possibly network with our local councils and possibly find a sister city in a local council in Sydney/Canberra.
