The on-going process of reforming the Local Authorities shall be supported and aligned with a new decentralisation policy focused on devolution. This will imply a refinement of the Local Government Act (LGA) itself as well as all laws, which reinforce central management functions over those strategically suited to LAs under CAP 265 of the LGA. The reforms will also entail improvement of strategic planning processes in all local authorities and embracing of various performance management tools and instruments as outlined under the public sector reforms section.
