About us
Punjab and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa’s provincial and local administrations are the focus of the Sub-National Governance Program (SNG). One of its main goals is to help these governments to improve their planning and budgeting processes as well as their ability to raise income transparently. More than 140 million people, particularly the poor, are expected to benefit from the SNG’s technical support in both provinces.
What we do
SNG-II recognises that reforms must be sustainable, and is supporting behavioural change across four transformations:
- Creating a performance-driven culture across the civil service
- Enabling true fiscal decentralisation on evidence-based local needs
- Improving fiscal efficiency and revenue collection to fund those needs
- Ensuring transparency for citizen to hold government to account
At the output level, SNG-II is working across four workstreams and a cross cutting area to achieve its objectives:
- Planning and budgeting: technical assistance to strengthen planning and budgeting capacities and processes in provincial and local government, including citizen engagement.
- Institutional strengthening (with a focus on post-Covid recovery and climate change): helping provincial and local governments improve institutional capacities to plan and deliver post-Covid recovery; support to plan and finance management of climate change.
- Fiscal space: helping governments generate and free up more resources that can be utilised for the delivery of services.
- Innovative approaches: piloting and scaling up innovative approaches to improving evidence-based policymaking, and planning, governance and action-oriented research.
- Accountability, inclusion & transparency: supporting provincial and local governments in mainstreaming accountability, transparency and inclusiveness in governance and Public Financial Management
