The project comprises of three components. The first component, preparation and implementation of sub‐projects consists of following sub-components: (i) ward development grants; and (ii) subproject preparation and implementation support grants. The second component, capacity building of national and sub‐national entities will support the strengthening of capacities of national and sub‐national government entities as well as community members to manage and implement subprojects, and to improve local governance as it relates to basic service delivery. The third component, project management will finance incremental costs of the implementing agency for project management, specifically coordination and supervision of implementation activities, financial management, annual audits, and monitoring and evaluation.
