The Ministry of Local Administration and Environment (Arabic: وزارة الإدارة المحلية والبيئة) is a department of the cabinet of Syria.

History

The history of the Ministry of Local Administration goes back to the first government during the era of Hafez al-Assad, and this journey began by Jabr al-Kafri in March 1972. The ministry continued as it was until the end of 2001 when the Ministry of State for Environmental Affairs was added to it and entrusted to the engineer Hilal al-Atrash.

Legislative Decree 64 of 2004 stipulated that the term Ministry of Local Administration and Environment should replace the Ministry of Housing and Construction. The third article of the decree stipulates that “the workers in the Ministry of Housing and Construction who are on the job in the Directorates of Urban Planning and Topography shall be deemed to be transferred by law to the Ministry of Local Administration and Environment”.

In April 2009, Decree No. 25 was issued to dismiss the ministry and create a Ministry of State for Environmental Affairs to assume the tasks and competencies that were assumed by the Ministry of Local Administration and Environment in accordance with the legislation and regulations in force with regard to environmental affairs. The name of the Ministry of Local Administration and Environment was amended to become the Ministry of Local Administration.

The Ministry in its current form was created in 2016 by a presidential decree (Law No. 18) merging both the Ministry of Local Administration and the Ministry of State for Environmental Affairs. It is managed by Eng. Louay Kharitah since 23 September 2024.
