Portuguese term or phrase: a titularidade dos municípios
Hi everyone! I'm translating a report on decentralised cooperation between pairs of Brazilian and Mozambican cities. Does anyone know what titularidade would be in this context? Thanks for your help!

Os resultados foram obtidos, e os objetivos de trabalho em várias das cidades abordadas em colaborações anteriores foram alcançados.. Maputo iniciou uma agenda de aprendizagem em um evento da CGLU sobre gestão urbana e mercados que envolveu cidades sócias como Porto Alegre, Belo Horizonte e Durban, assim como onze cidades moçambicanas. A oferta de algumas cidades para liderar e ampliar oportunidades para outras cidades nacionais em Moçambique, particularmente nas cidades de Maputo, Nampula e Dondo, aumentou a dinâmica e o impacto sobre a capacidade e ***a titularidade dos municípios***. Durante o ano de 2012, surgiram o continuaram experiências de colaboração internacional bilaterais entre algumas das cidades associadas (Xai-Xai e Vitoria, Inhambane e Porto Alegre, Maputo com Belo Horizonte e Durban, África do Sul, Varzea Paulista e Lichinga).

English translation:ownership
Explanation:
Ownership in the sense of "involvement", having a "hands-on" and direct intervention in matters that are important for the vounvils themselves.
Titularidade here is used in the sense of "apropriação" / ownership.
