Strengthening Public Governance through Tripartite Partnerships

closed

The objective of this TC is to strengthen public sector governance and local capacity through multi-stakeholder partnerships, and is expected to lead to: (i)increased local capacity on the part of member countries to create tripartite (public/private/third) executing mechanism schemes for public sector interventions; (ii) increased institutional capacities of participants (public agencies, community organizations, business sector entities) by creating the institutional space for the exchange of information and lessons of experience during the day-to-day activities of project implementation; and (iii) increased participation of traditionally excluded beneficiaries in the power structures of projects. The partnership also allows participating parties to make more efficient use of their resources since they will benefit from the contributions of the other sectors -- public sector authority to set policy, business sector resources and know-how, and civil society knowledge of community based conditions as well as local and cultural perspectives -- all essential to operations success.
