Project Description
The project works directly with municipalities receiving
extractive-industry royalties in Peru, providing relevant information,
training, and tools; promoting the adoption of good practices; providing
on-demand Web-based services to local officers; and involving the private
sector in subnational government capacity building. The objective is to
improve the investment capacity in at least 21 of the 30 selected
municipalities, as measured by a 20 percent increase in the assessment
rating of their investment management practices, by June 2014. In
addition, 10 municipalities are expected to be reached indirectly through
third parties that have adopted the tools and methodologies made available
by the project, and 1,000 local officers are expected to have improved
their ability to make more informed decisions with the support of a
Web-based platform. Anticipated impact includes benefiting 250,000
inhabitants through access to new or improved public infrastructure for
basic services or for income-generating activities in the 30
municipalities.
