Abstract

The overarching objective of the Commonwealth Local Government Good Practice Scheme (GPS) was to contribute towards the achievement of the Millennium Development Goals at the local level; there were four expected outputs:

1. Increased capacity of local authorities to plan and deliver services, through successful implementation of CLGF-funded projects focussed on the following nationally agreed themes, relevant to the achievement of the MDGs;

2. Measurable and/or assessable improvements in individual and/or departmental/local authority management efficiency and effectiveness delivered through the GPS projects;

3. National local government associations possess effective knowledge management systems and dissemination networks working nationally - and internationally through CLGF;

4. Utilisation of expertise of local government practitioners in partner countries to improve local government performance more widely.
