In the framwork of the country's decentralisation policy the project supports local public representatives and line agencies staff through capacity building and training, to increase their political participation and improve public services at community level.

The overall objective is to establish institutional, organisational and conceptual preconditions for education and training in the field of decentralisation. The implies, e.g., a harmonised and standardised national education strategy.

To enhance the performance and expertise of decentralisation actors the project focuses on three areas of intervention:

1.Decentralised educational measures and raising awareness of men and women on local councils
2.Decentralised training of officials currently employed by municipalities, and:
3.Centralised training for future municipal officials.

In 2011 a national strategy for training decentralisation stakeholders was drawn up.
