Project Summary
|
The program of Support to Decentralization (PROADES) is embedded in the National Strategy for Poverty Reduction (ERP) and in the National Program for Decentralisation and Local Development (PRODDEL). The overall aim of the project is to make a contribution to poverty reduction and to the setting up of a modern and efficient public administration. Instrumental in achieving this are the decentralisation of the public sector and, in particular, the strengthening of the poorest local administrations which are supported by PROADES via Budget Support.
Specific aim of the consulting contribution, which accompanies the Budget Support, is the consultancy service and support to the public institutions at central level and to the subnational, regional corporations in the further development and implementation of PRODDEL. This should take place in the context of the national decentralisation policy, through strengthening the powers of public administration (at central and local level), as well as those of the Honduran civil society’s capacity to act.
The following results are expected from the program:
1. Strengthening the management capacity of the actors in the practical implementation of the policy, and the creation of the legal framework for decentralisation.
2. Strengthening the powers of the communal administrations in their role as essential actors in the decentralisation process.
3. Conception, development and implementation of incentive mechanisms, procedures, norms and measures, which bring about stronger civil participation at local level, making provision for equality of the sexes. | |
