Project number:
Project name: Governance Accountability Project (GAP 1)
Short description: USAID and the Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency (SIDA) are jointly funding GAP (for a total of $20 million). GAP is improving the customer service profiles and the administrative /management systems of 40 local governments through direct municipal interventions, including the construction of One-Stop-Shop, which dramatically reduce waiting times for citizens by consolidating customer service for the entire municipality at one location. GAP is also helping local governments to improve management of their finances by providing technical assistance designed to help them better control and rationalize revenues and expenditures. The project helps local governments to strengthen their common voice through association building.
