It will focus on strengthening the capacity of central level, provincial and selected local authorities and, monitoring and evaluating plans and budget estimation through an improved legal framework and training of trainers.
Under the project, selected central ministries and key planning staff at provincial level will have the opportunity to learn and share information on international planning experiences and best practices, as well as more in depth capacity building activities for selected sub provincial authorities.
The project will last four years and the Ministry of Planning and Investment will be responsible for the implementation and management of the project.
