Local Resource Management Support Program

Project Overview

Effective local resource management is essential for equitable development and improved public service delivery. However, weak governance systems, limited capacity, and lack of community engagement often hinder efficient resource utilization.

The Local Resource Management Support Program worked to build institutional capacity of local government bodies, improve financial management systems, and promote participatory planning. The initiative encouraged citizen engagement in decision-making processes to ensure that resources were allocated fairly and aligned with community needs.

Problem Statement

Limited capacity and weak accountability mechanisms at the local level can lead to inefficient use of resources and unequal development outcomes. The program aimed to strengthen governance structures, enhance transparency in public resource management, and empower communities to actively participate in local development processes.
