Applying Institutional Excellence Standards to Local Administration Bodies in Egypt (Available in English) (Disponible en Français)

The importance of institutional excellence in management lies in its applicability to all activities and sectors (agriculture, industry, production, and services) at all levels—from the state and its ministries to small production or service units. Among the key institutions where institutional excellence principles should be applied in Egypt are local administration bodies at all levels, including governorates, districts, and villages, as well as representatives of ministries and central agencies in the governorates.
The significance of applying institutional excellence principles to local administrative bodies stems from the fact that they constitute more than half of Egypt’s state institutions. If successful, this implementation could lead to achieving institutional excellence across most state institutions, thereby enhancing citizen satisfaction—a primary goal of national security.
The study sheds light on the theoretical and conceptual framework of institutional excellence, outlines the requirements for achieving excellence in local administrative bodies, and proposes a three-phase plan to implement institutional excellence principles in Egypt's local administration over three years. The study concludes with findings and recommendations.
