Abstract

The new public management is an effective tool to help public institutions provide quality services that meet citizens' aspirations. It provides modern methods and approaches for rationalizing decision-making and the resources as well. The Algerian state is among the countries seeking to modernize public administration by implementing a number of the new public management tools, including the Enterprise Project, which has been implemented in many sectors, such as health and higher education. Given the importance of local communities in economic and social life, implementing the enterprise project will contribute to improving their performance and leveraging their local resources, especially if it is developed based on their available competencies. This article aims to introduce the enterprise project as one of the new public management mechanisms, further highlighting its role in Strengthening the competition-based management approach in local communities.
