This assignment is launched under the LGNSP (Local governance and non-state actors Support programme). The programme aims at greater involvement and effective participation of NSA in local governments. It also aims at strengthening local government structures at District and Community Council level though a wide range of capacity building efforts. The purpose of the assignment was to provide LGNSP with baseline data for measuring future impacts of the programme interventions. It also provided insights on where and how local governance can be improved at short, medium and long term. It enhanced the understanding of the importance of good governance at the local level and finally it created and initial platform for dialogue between the various stakeholders in the district to improve governance and to hold each other accountable. Used in combination with other studies commissioned by the LGNSP, the findings will form the bases of a multi-faceted institutional strengthening and change strategy.
