Details

As part of the ongoing review process on 20 years of decentralisation and the assembly system of local governance, the MLGRD/ILGS are going to engage the key representatives of recognised political parties to generate inputs for the Stakeholder Review Process on Decentralisation and Local Governance. The objective of the workshop is to provide for the political parties an opportunity to contribute to the review process both as citizens and advocates. The intended outcomes of the workshop are that positions would have been shared, good practices and lessons learnt generated and recommendations for making decentralisation and local governance more effective, provided.

The whole activity can be considered a Political Party Decentralisation Platform (PPDP) to develop a blueprint on the position of the District Chief executives, accountability of the assemblies, application of the District Assemblies' Common Fund, relations between various actors in the assemblies system and equipping assembly members to perform their roles.

The participants will also consider the state, size and performance of the local government sub-structures. The PPDP aims at building a non-partisan blueprint that would be carried out irrespective of which political tradition is in government. There will be a reflection on the performance of the assembly system over the past 20 years, examination of the interpretations of concept of decentralisation and generate positions for the way forward. The focus of the PPDP consultation will be on reforming decentralisation in the foreseeable future, efforts wioo also be made to distil issues for proposed legislative and constitutional reform.

The parties to participate in the PPDP are the National Democratic Congress, New Patriotic Party, Convention People's Party, Democratic People's Party, EGLE Party, Great Consolidated Popular Party and the National Reform Party.
