The primary objective of the project is to strengthen the central government#s capacity for administrative and fiscal decentralization and the institutional capacities of communes in six regions, and to improve accountability linkages between local policy makers and citizens in the six regions.

To date, all components of the project, including financial management, procurement, project management, and monitoring and evaluation, have been rated satisfactory. Smooth implementation of the Project has translated into high disbursement rate of the project funds. After five years of effective implementation of project’s activities, the overall disbursement rate of the project stands at 90 percent. The project has provided support to the improvements in the intergovernmental framework as well as institutional development of communes. Implementation of planned activities of the Project’s components are on track and satisfactory. 1 . Component -1. Establishing the foundations of robust administrative and fiscal intergovernmental institutions. This Component seeks to support the central government to establish a transparent and rule-based intergovernmental fiscal framework and robust intergovernmental administrative systems. The physical execution rate of planned activities is 71% as 31 December 2016. Currently, the Government is developing a long-term vision for decentralization (la vision prospective de la decentralization), which is expected to define concrete government commitments to decentralization to address critical challenges such as fiscal decentralization and human capacity of local government. 2 . Component-2: Strengthening capacity of municipalities to manage local development. Under this component resources are allocated to local authorities, through institutional development grants (IDGs), to support them in developing the core administrative systems and capacities they need to attain basic levels of administration as well as effective municipal council oversight functions and functioning communication and feedback channels with the communities. The physical execution rate of planned activities is 85% as 31 December 2016. Provision of equipment such as 879 desktop and 675 laptop computers, 83 new vehicles, and 1,007 motorcycles, are contributing to improvement in the operational efficiency of municipalities. All 256 new buildings and 154 renovated structures funded by the Project are being utilized, and 44% of participating municipalities are equipped with solar energy, while 12% have acquired generators, resulting in reduced bureaucracies and efficiencies of the municipalities. 3 . Component 3 - Improving accountability linkages between local level policy makers and citizens. This component seeks to strengthen local government accountability for public resource utilization. It seeks to promote the development of a culture of local council oversight and citizen engagement in decision- making processes at the local level in the six selected regions. The physical execution rate of planned activities is 97% as 31 December 2016. The engagement of the CSOs in each region to facilitate citizen engagement in municipal processes has introduced a formal process of strengthening accountability linkages between citizens and their local governments. Implementation of the annual Competition for Excellence in Local Governance (la Compétition Pour l’Excellence dans la Gouvernance Locale - COPEGOL) during the first four years of the project has contributed to improved capacity of municipalities and knowledge sharing on innovative governance approaches across municipalities. COPEGOL has also laid the foundation for a systematic assessment of municipal performance, which will be introduced under the Additional Financing.
