BELGIAN TECHNICAL COOPERATON

The major focus of the Belgian Technical Cooperation during the past year has been on building municipal capacities as a key development objective. The Local Government Units (LGUs) are trying to meet the increased demand for services requested by the citizens which requires that the LGU staff be well trained, and acting on a professional way. LICP has been providing municipal capacity building (both human and institutional) and budget support in areas such as financial management, planning, and service provision.

LICP has been responding to the immediate needs as well as the structural needs of the smaller LGUs and their communities. The project has continued to implement small scale infrastructure building (such as public library, women�s centre, public hall, street lighting, pavement and rehabilitation of internal roads�etc) to improve the general conditions and services for socio-economic development.
