| Description: |
NIGER GOVERNMENT ACCOUNTABILITY AND POLICY REFORM ACTIVITY
:
This innovative approach that USAID is proposing will build coalitions for reform
(demand side) while providing targeted assistance to national institutions willing and able to champion reform (supply side). The demand and supply-side efforts will be bridged via the creation and strengthening of mechanisms and spaces for multi-stakeholder, policy-level dialogue and reform. These approaches will be coupled with intensive donor coordination to catalyze critical policy reforms relevant to the successful implementation of major USAID development interventions. The totality of this activity should result in enhanced government accountability and responsiveness to citizen needs and usher in an improved policy framework. |
