    Summary:

     The overall goal of the project is to develop and demonstrate sustainable mechanisms for local governance, thereby supplementing grants currently being provided by the national Government to local-level governments (LLGs) in the project areas and promoting participatory planning and local accountability at the community level. Implementation will be phased and the approach will promote self- reliant local development through:

    1. Community mobilization, facilitated by local motivators;

    2. Identification and prioritization of activities that provide suitable solutions to local development constraints, through transparent and participatory planning processes at the ward or community level;

    3. Approval and budgeting of activities at the LLG level to be funded from their own development budget;

    4. Provision of assured funding to LLGs, with transparent conditions to ensure accountability and effective use of funds by both LLGs and recipient communities;

    5. Design and implementation of planned activities by the communities themselves, with support from local community-based organizations, NGOs and service providers; and

    6. Capacity development of community-based organizations, ward development committees, LLGs and province/district administrations.

    Project Components:

    1. Development Grants 2. Capacity-building 3. Capital Support for participating LLGs and districts

    Expected Outputs:

    1. Subprojects implemented utilizing grants to LLGs through a participatory process; 2. Capacity developed among all stakeholders to plan, budget, implement, monitor and evaluate LLG development grants; and 3. Upgraded districts and LLG facilities.
