The oversight body for Mao Sister City International is AIDL, founded December 20, 1979. AIDL has been very active in the development of Mao. AIDL, in collaboration with the Association for Development of the Valverde Province, Obispado Mao-Montecristi, and the Institute for the Development of the Northeast, established the first institute for professional education in Mao - Institute Politecnico del Noroeste.
Today the City of Mao and the City of
