The Project will help partner local governments establish a system for the strategic management of their public asset portfolios and develop the necessary skills of staff managing the system. Moreover, to make the most of available financial resources, the Project will also provide direct and on-site support to local and cantonal governments in practicing smart revenue and expenditure management, consequently contributing to better fund generation for capital investments. Unchecked executive spending will be reduced, and more funds for investment in services will be made available by strengthening internal control systems and introducing a new level of scrutiny to the local government's financial management practices. Furthermore, the Project will also take in efforts to introduce and strengthen structured public procurement practices to ensure public funds are safeguarded.

Finally, the Project will work with newly elected and reform-oriented mayors in pursuing a progressive service-oriented agenda through its Technical Assistance Facility (TAF) component. Newly elected local government leaders will be supported in delivering their service priority interventions across four thematic areas: digital governance; service delivery and infrastructure; local economic development; and financial management.
