The management of the MPG already started to be taken over by MLGA. This process will be further advanced, which will require capacity development interventions.

MPG will be open to public scrutiny to ensure that civil society organisations a nd citizens use the performance data and can hold municipalities to account for their performance and provision of services.

DEMOS III supports institutionalization of the Municipal Performance Grant (MPG) by building capacities of the Ministry of Local Government Administration (MLGA) to fully manage the grant.

This will directly contribute to the efforts foreseen in the government programme that aims to further increase the performance of municipalities and financial support including capacity building of institutions.
