LGCDP M&E Framework

OUTCOME 2
LGCDP Outcome 2: Increased capacity of local governments to manage resources
and deliver basic services in an inclusive and equitable manner
Analysis of Outcome formulation:
• The outcome primarily refers to the capacity of the three entities of local
governments: DDCs, municipalities and VDCs.
• The outcome explicitly refers to two types of capacity: a) the capacity to manage
resources, and b) the capacity to deliver basic social services.
• The capacity to manage resources implies planning, implementing, monitoring and
reporting on resources.
• The delivery of basic social services refers to those basic services which are
typically provided by DDCs, municipalities, and VDCs.
• While not explicit, the outcome also contains the perspective of a sustainable
increase in local resources. A key element of sustainability is the increasing
mobilization of internal revenues.
• In addition, the outcome refers to the fact that both the management of resources
and delivery of basic social services should be done in an inclusive and equitable
manner.
