• In connection with the need for capacity building of CBOs and networking amongst stakeholders, there is a need to elevate the level of understanding and facilitate the processes that enable Local Government and Local Authorities to internalize their roles and responsibilities. • They need adequate orientation over the broader picture of governance and development initiatives linked to the SDGs and the National Five Year Plan. • To make the project outcomes sustainable, it is crucial that the Local Government and Local Actors create an enabling environment to ensure that development initiatives are jointly governed through the participation of the communities via transparent budgeting and effective implementation.

THIS PROJECT IS • to strengthen grassroots CBOs’ and CSOs’ knowledge and leadership capacities in securing the social and economic rights of vulnerable individuals and communities through the design and implementation of government policies, programmes and budgets related to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
