The main goal of PSI phase I (2015 – 2019)

The main goal of PSI phase I (2015 – 2019) was to introduce sustainable, effective, efficient, accountable and responsive management solutions in targeted municipalities that address real needs and demands of citizens and that deliver tangible service improvements. During the first phase the project has developed and positively tested a unique methodology that helps local self-governments to better plan, manage, and provide services based on the priority needs of the local population.

The main thrust of PSI phase II (2019 – 2023)

The main thrust of PSI phase II (2019 – 2023) is therefore to deepen, replicate and scale up tested models and solutions from phase I to tangibly improve public services by establishing replication models and supporting national mechanisms for their dissemination and scaling up the approach countrywide.

PSI II will work on achieving two outcomes that contribute to the overall goal:

Outcome 1: Rural municipalities provide local public services in an effective and efficient manner

Outcome 2: The various system actors create enabling conditions – technical, legal and financial – fostering socially inclusive and gender responsive local public service provision

«People are becoming more involved, we feel responsible to deliver results, then faith and respect for local self-government bodies will be strengthened, for now the pilot projects put more efforts then others.»

During the phase II implementation the project strategy towards achieving the set results is grouped into two main interventions: a) focus on  creating models and supporting tangible service improvements through inter-municipal cooperation (IMC) and active and meaningful participation of citizens in development of local service policies and practices that are gender sensitive and socially inclusive; b) supporting and utilizing national mechanism for dissemination and capitalization of the knowledge and best practices on effective local service provision.

Main role in the dissemination, replication and scaling up knowledge and products of the Project will be given to the SALSGIR, local non-commercial organizations, LSG Union, LGACA.
