LGAs and State Agencies Partnership and Capacity Building
- The State Agencies (SA), under this component, provide training, technical assistance and cross-learning for a to strengthen the capacity of the designated staff of State MDAs and LGAs in performing the roles prescribed for them by the CSDP institutional arrangements. Key areas of skills development relevant to the LGAs include: planning, financial management, procurement and general improvement in local governance. This is achieved through transparency in budget preparation, publishing, execution and monitoring as well as maintaining records of projects implemented and sustained by Local Governments

For each participating State, communities with the support of LGAs and SA, prepare CDPs which after passing through all the approved procedures, qualify for the funding support of CSDP.

Gender and Vulnerable Group Investment

The component targets vulnerable groups (widows, deprived, internally displaced, physically challenged). The goods and services may not always be purely social but could also be socio-economic.
