Sub-National Governance
The Sub-national governance programme (SNG) is aimed at strengthening local and provincial governments and building sustainable institutions in Punjab and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) to improve the way provincial and local governments manage their planning and finances. SNG will help these governments to deliver better services for their 140 million people, particularly the poor. The programme will work towards this aim by improving government’s planning and budgeting capacities, creating effective and accountable institutions, enhancing fiscal space by driving both efficiencies in expenditures and mobilising greater revenues, implementing robust PFM systems and sustainably integrating innovation and inclusion.
