From his position as Assistant to the Mayor for Administrative and Financial Affairs, Al-Qudah didn’t settle for routine tasks—instead, he led a qualitative transformation in municipal management, grounded in strategic planning, community engagement, and enhanced transparency.

🏛️ Al-Qudah transformed the municipality’s administrative and financial files into a dynamic space for change, overseeing the development of operational and strategic plans, and contributing to the improvement of institutional performance and citizen services.

His practical approach, which balanced administrative organization with field engagement, had the greatest impact in strengthening trust between the municipality and the local community.

📻 Driven by his belief in the importance of media as a tool for development and transparency, Mohammad Ali Al-Qudah hosts the weekly radio program “My Municipality… How Are Things?” on Sawt Ajloun Community Radio, in partnership with the Change Makers Center for Sustainable Development.

This program has evolved into an interactive dialogue platform that brings together citizens and officials to discuss development challenges, local projects, and clarify municipal processes and the roles of elected councils.

📢 Through this media platform, Al-Qudah didn’t just highlight achievements—he actively worked to promote legal and administrative literacy related to local governance, raise awareness about the role of municipalities in economic and social development, and encourage youth and citizens to engage in public affairs and constructive accountability.
