Abstract
The report’s findings and conclusions describe a successful program that enabled local governments to better collaborate with their national and regional counterparts, create a stronger tax collection mechanism to drive additional revenues, and invest more in key sectors, such as health, education, and water, sanitation, and hygiene. The report presents recommendations for USAID and the next implementing partner to (1) increase funding and specific opportunities for inclusion of marginalized groups, particularly persons with disabilities and youth, (2) focus on the mechanics of sustainability and planning to ensure program efforts continue after closeout, and (3) better improve data collection during the program to show results.
