This subcomponent seeks to improve the service-delivery capacity of local-level government authorities.

It will support capacity support interventions for local government authorities and local implementing institutions in coordination with other projects and programmes to ensure adequate capacities in the areas of community-driven planning process, local development management, service-delivery capacities enhancement, mainstreaming of project interventions with the government’s development planning and budgeting process, and coordination of all development stakeholders for local-level and community-level development learning.

The project will also support technical assistance to reinforce the capacity of specialized implementing agencies, including the recruitment of national and international technical assistance for the planning, engineering design, procurement, construction management, safeguards, and technical monitoring of physical investments.
