This is a component of the Public Sector Capacity Building Program, which is a multi-donor initiative designed to improve the efficiency and responsiveness of public service delivery across all levels of government; empower citizens to participate more effectively in shaping their own development; and promote good governance and accountability. Designed to improve the responsiveness, transparency, and fiscal responsibility of the country's public service, the program is implemented by the United Nations Development Program (UNDP). The program also aims to increase the government's capacity to manage urban development, to decentralize a number of services, to reform the tax and justice systems, and to improve information and communications technologies used by the public service. As part of the program, participatory processes are developed to assess public requirements and to help the government in planning and budgeting. At the same time, people's access to information about national and regional services is improved. The UNDP focuses on decentralization as a critical aspect of the program, identifying capacity building in local communities as a means of improving public service delivery. Through this component, CIDA has set aside funds to provide Canadian technical assistance to support the implementation of the program.
