The project was restructured in April 2015 to reallocate the funds across the expenditure categories. The government has recently requested the extension of the closing date of the project by eight months. The project is making progress in achieving its results despite the events of 2014 (popular uprising) and 2015 (transitional government.). The implementation of the first component activities is on track. The component supports the central government agencies to further develop a transparent and rule-based intergovernmental fiscal framework and robust intergovernmental administrative systems. It engages with the government to make intergovernmental transfers more transparent and formula based. The component has ensured that the grant amounts available to communes are communicated to the communes in a timely fashion in order to give them an opportunity to make proper budget planning. The Government has initiated the process for the implementation of the 21 decrees to devolve the service delivery responsibilities specified in the 2004 Law. The project is working with the counterpart to implement the decrees. In addition, the project is working with the SP-CONAD (Secretariat permanent de la conference nationale de la decentralization) for the finalization of the vision prospective de la decentralization and politique national de la decentralization. The second component provides institutional development support to communes. It finances the implementation of the institutional development plan of communes. There has been a significant progress in improving the capacities of the communes. The third component promotes accountability. It strives to achieve better accountability of communes towards citizens. Working through local and regional NGOs, the component strengthens accountability linkages between citizens and communes. Under this component six NGOs (one per region) have been hired to work with local governance stakeholders in their respective regions. The last component provides support for project implementation.
