81283854-Appuyer les cadres de dialogue public privé dans la réalisation des plans d'action et la création de PPP au Mali

Support for decentralisation policies and regional and local institutions and actors represent an important building block to contribute to stabilisation and socio-economic development in Mali. More than two decades of a practice of local self-government have indeed strengthened the social acceptance of local authorities as service providers and economic locations and confirmed their role as key actors in reconciliation and reconstruction. However, institutional and technical deficits at the actor level continue to stand in the way of efficient and good governance in the regions, counties and municipalities. Strengthening the competencies of the mandate holders and functionaries of the local authorities, promoting dialogue formats between the administration, citizens and representatives of the private sector, and improving the accountability of the local authorities to the population increase the population's trust in the political institutions and thus contribute to the stabilisation and development of the country. This is the basis for the TC project "Decentralisation and Good Governance (PADRE III)", which is being implemented by GIZ on behalf of BMZ and aims to strengthen the role of local authorities in socio-economic development. It has a duration of 36 months (01.2022 - 12.2024) and a budget of 7 million euros. Accompanying measures are provided through four axes of intervention: The first axis strengthens transparent and compliant financial management in the target municipalities. The second axis facilitates dialogue on socio-economic resilience in the context of Covid-19 between local authorities and civil society organisations. The third axis contributes to improving cooperation between local private and public actors to promote the economy and employment. The fourth axis strengthens networked learning in the multi-level system.
