Initiatives for Strengtherning Local Government Capacity
- Share to:
Our initiative to strengthen local government institutions started in 2003 with an aim to strengthen local governance towards the benefit of the rural poor. It aims to develop capacity of local government towards pro-poor governance, higher accountability and transparency. In addition it aims to strengthen grassroots democracy and local governance, and create platform for rural civil society and local government to work together to meet local development challenges. Since the local government election in 2003, we have provided capacity building support and gender sensitization to a total of 20,012 men and women Union Parishad members and Chairman in the country.rnrnActivities under this initiative involve capacity development of Union Parishad (UP) representatives, addressing gender inequality within the UP, organising female UP representatives through upazila Forums and strengthening linkage between the local government and the community. These interventions contribute in improving local governance for effective delivery of public services, promoting accountability and transparency, and strengthening female leadership within the local government structure.
