The project was designed as a long-term
capacity building and institutional development project
utilizing a pilot funding program, Municipal Grant Fund
(MGF), as the first stage of support for municipal
infrastructure and services. The original four components
included (a) Legal and Institutional Reform; (b) Municipal
Capacity Building; (c) Municipal Grants; and (d) Project
Management and Technical Assistance. The restructured
project development objectives were to assist the Government
of Mozambique to operationalize the legal, institutional and
fiscal framework for municipal governance; develop a
sustainable training and technical assistance system and
increase the capacity of municipality officials and
personnel; and establish an operating mechanism for
providing grants to municipalities through a pilot program
in eight cities to finance capital investments for municipal
capacity building and infrastructure. Some of the lessons
learned are as follows: (a) The design of a project and in
particular of a pilot program should be simple and within
the capacity of the staff and agencies responsible for its
implementation. (b) Team leaders from government and Bank
project teams must develop strong working relationships
built on effective communication so that both organizations
are working toward the same objective. |
