Historique

The project “Supporting Decentralisation of Public Administration through Effective Delivery of Public Service at Municipal Level” will establish a multi-actor and multi-stakeholder framework for building capabilities in the selected municipalities to implement a municipal program and strategy to improving public service delivery and ultimately human development. The process will be mainly focused on the problems and challenges faced towards delivering public services, followed by a continuous process of learning and interactive discussions in which all the stakeholders, including local community, private sector, non-governmental organizations etc., will develop capacities and engage in a problem-solving process. The local community, in particular the most vulnerable segments of society, including women, youth, will be empowered to critically engage with the municipal administration and other key stakeholders to address their needs, expectation, and aspirations. As a result, the priority areas will be identified and agreed, while at least one project will be implemented at each municipality.
