  1. Status of the LG Sector:Winding Down LGRP II • No funding has been approved for the current financial year. • Auditing: 2009/2011 is completed 2011/2012 under review 2012/13 being commissioned • Low levels of results achievement, financial maladministration are the main reasons DPs are leaving.

  2. Status of the LG SectorWinding Down LGDG System • The MOU expired in June 2013. • Updating system design work involving MoFEA and PMO-RALG is slow and difficult. • The LGDG System is operational without DP funding. • GoT contributions have increased significantly. • Main concerns of DPs: timeliness, predictability and completeness; LGA annual assessment, funds carried over.

  3. Not really an ending…. Regions and LGAs will continue to be strategically significant stakeholders in the delivery of public services.

  4. Interesting Times….Converging Sector/Governace Agendas • Interfaces between central government, regional administrations and LGAs need to be clarified and confirmed. • Processes and tools to facilitate working relationships between vertical tiers of the public service need to be reviewed and rationalized.

  5. Horizontal Engagement • Sector-specific efforts to address regional and LGA level deficiencies may lead to duplication and deepen inefficiencies. • Greater cross-sectoral collaboration with central management agencies can lead to enabling reforms and improved service delivery. BRN is learning this.

  6. For some this is not news…. DPs have been having informal information exchanges on supporting improved service delivery for more 18 months. With the LG DPG disbanding members of the DPG-Main may which to mobilize a working group to focus on: • central government-regional administration-LGA working relationships; and • Sector and LG-friendly systems, tools and institutional arrangements for improved service delivery.

  7. It’s not so bad….! We should not assume: • basket funds to not work, • the government partner - PMO-RALG - should not be partnered with. The LG sector experience is largely due to… an overambitious agenda, assumptions concerning the capacities of the implementing partners and the exercise of political demand and oversight.
