This paper is about strengthening the institutions that ensure good governance. Strengthening the institutional capacities of local governments is important for: 1) economic reasons (e.g. productive and allocative efficiency), 2) equity reasons (territorial and social equity); and 3) political reasons (e.g. elected officers' accountability to citizens, citizens' participation in decision-making, and democratization of decision-making).
