Indicator: % of DDCs which increase their internal revenues (excluding central grants) by
at least 15% compared to the previous fiscal year
Rationale: This indicator reflects the extent to which DDCs manage to increase internal revenue
collection. The indicator is:

• a indicator for sustainability of local governance, since internal revenues can
become a cornerstone of financing social services on the district level;
Limits: • The indicator does not reflect the extent to which individual DDCs exceed a
15% increase.
