Deadline- 18th June 2012
The overarching objective of the programme is strengthening of local authorities in Yemen as a pre-condition for a more equitable, open and democratic society, as well as strengthening their capacity to deliver services to the citizens, and in particular the most disadvantaged groups of people. Given the clear need to strengthen the capacity of local organisations, all actions should include an element of capacity building of local authorities and/or other actors.
In all actions the execution of operations must remain under the responsibility and supervision of the LA and associations of LA, and mechanisms must be put in place to ensure sustainability of the actions after the EU-cofinanced project ends. Furthermore, steps should be taken under every project to ensure coherence with relevant sectoral policies, fair conditions of access for the most vulnerable parts of the population and quality of services rendered.
Stable partnerships between NSA and LA are encouraged, provided that the partnership demonstrates in the application its added value for the implementation of the action. It is an “actor-oriented” programme aimed at strengthening the capacity of local authorities to actively engage and forge a more inclusive and empowered society through support to their “own initiatives”. This Call for Proposals is focusing solely on Local Authorities.
