A direct connection was found between the government's lack of action and the growing Arab citizens' mistrust of the Israeli democracy and institution. In order to enhance Israeli Arabs' sentiment of solidarity and partnership, they must receive proper service from transparent and accountable local authorities. The Movement for Quality Government's Empowerment Project is designed to accomplish two main and interrelated goals:

1. Training Arab agents of change, and providing them with tools for effective legal and civil action against corruption, incompetence and malfeasance in local government

2. Enhancing public awareness and public discussion among Arab citizens regarding the need for civic action to promote sound public administration, accountability and transparency in local authorities.
