Stengthening Local Governance and Promoting Citizen Participation

CHF International is working in Nicaragua through the USAID-funded Municipal Governance Program (MGP), which will strengthen municipal governance and citizen involvement, empowering them and bettering their quality of life. By improving basic service delivery, MGP will help local governments be more responsive to their citizens and develop citizen’s positive perception of their leadership.

Municipal Development: CHF will work in 60 municipalities to build more accountable and competent local governments by working with them to improve their resource and financial management, citizen engagement, and regional planning.

Citizen Engagement: By improving and strengthening community based organizations, we will support more effective engagement of citizens with local governments to achieve their goals and demand transparency.

Infrastructure and Service Improvements: Improved municipal responsiveness will result in better service delivery and identification and funding of community infrastructure projects.
