CLP works to promote inclusion and grassroots participation in local governance through participatory budgeting, civic education and civic engagement in electoral integrity, open governance and democratic accountability; and also works to increase youth and women’s participation in politics and governance.
Our Governance programme is based on 3 components:
- Participatory Budgeting (getting citizens to actively participate in the budget-making process, especially at the local level);
- Civic Education and Engagement (consistent Post-Election Civic Education of Grassroots citizens for engagement with Government on open governance and democratic accountability)
- Promoting Electoral Integrity and Popular Participation in Elections (empowering Grassroots citizens and partnering with the Election Management Body, INEC and other stakeholders to promote electoral integrity).
Strategic Objectives of the Governance Programme
- Build capacities of Grassroots Community Leaders and Government Officials on participatory governance and budgeting, implementation and monitoring of budgets and projects;
- Empower Government Officials, especially at the local level, to improve their capacities for more inclusive and effective service delivery;
- Empower Grassroots citizens to understand their civic rights and responsibilities and enhance their capacity to negotiate with, place demands, and hold government accountable;
