The development objectives of the Local Government Support Project (LGSP) are: to strengthen fiscal decentralization, improve accountability in the use of local government resources, and, improve management of intergovernmental transfers systems; and, to increase access to infrastructure and services in unplanned areas of Dar es Salaam, and improve revenue performance for sustainable operations and maintenance. The project comprises three components: 1) Support for Local Government Capital Development Grant System component supports an overall Local Government Capital Development Grant (LGCDG) system, which is also being supported by the Government, and bilateral development partners. The LGCDG system includes a) a Capital Development Grant (CDG), and, b) a Capacity Building Grant (CBG). The LGCDG transfers will be non-sectoral, distributed on a formula basis to local government agencies (LGAs), who will invest in accordance with local needs, as determined through local participatory planning, and budgetary processes. The CBG will provide resources to LGAs to help build their capacity to access, and manage the CDG. 2) Dar es Salaam Upgrading and Institutional Strengthening component will have two subcomponents, a) the Community Infrastructure Upgrading Program is a community-driven program, targeted at unplanned areas in Dar es Salaam, b) the Local Revenue Enhancement Operation and Maintenance Program will improve local O&M systems, and local revenue collections to support O&M expenditure. 3) Support to the President's Office - Regional Administration and Local Government (PO-RALG) component will support the implementation, monitoring, evaluation, and audits of the Project, and the transfer program supported by Component 1, while building the capacity of PO-RALG to execute the functions as part of routine activities.
