Local Governance Project (LogoPro) |
|
Following an initiation phase which ran from September 2008 to February 2009 the Local Governance umbrella project was finalised with the expressed aim of enhancing local service delivery for the attainment of the MDGs and to strengthen local democratic dialogue and support processes that enable citizens to hold their local government institutions accountable. The project includes interventions that target structures at the local level. Building on earlier post-tsunami projects, and taking into account the government’s priorities the project’s focus is in the Eastern, Southern and Uva Provinces.
Seven pillars of activities are envisaged, which will be implemented by two partners with the support of identified responsible parties. Therefore to facilitate project management, separate work-plans will be developed for each Implementing Partner and overseen jointly by one Project Board to ensure coordination and to promote synergies.
The total budget for the project is $5,885,000 out of which the Country Office, in line with CPAP commitments, has allocated $1,430,000 TRAC resources and the UNDP Democratic Governance Thematic Trust Fund (DGTTF) has committed US$200,000. Efforts will be undertaken to mobilize the unfunded portion of the budget amounting to $4,255,000 both through in-country and global level avenues. Care has been taken to allocate the currently available resources against key priorities to ensure the attainment of prioritized results in the absence of an influx of additional resources.
