Abstract
Because LED is fundamentally interdisciplinary and cross-cutting, it is best developed with the support and expertise of different Mission officers. This toolkit will discuss the different factors constraining or encouraging an LED program. Its approach is designed to supplement the USAID LED Primer located on the Making Cities Work website.1 The Primer discusses the partnering and participatory process that a mission can use to engage with local government and other donors. This toolkit provides a more analytical assessment of issues relating to LED. Both documents should be used together, along with other key resources that are referenced here.
