Full Description
The Communal Public Services Financing Plan (PFC) for Ouanaminthe represents a comprehensive participatory planning exercise involving local authorities and civil society representatives. Developed under the USAID-funded LOKAL+ project, this plan aims to strengthen Communal capacity to deliver sustainable public services in the Nord-Est department. The document outlines the Communality's vision for improving public service delivery while justifying fiscal mobilization efforts from taxpayers.
The PFC follows a participatory methodology that engaged various stakeholders through six phases over nine months, from August 2013 to May 2014. It identifies priority interventions across multiple sectors including health, education, infrastructure, and economic development. The plan serves as a strategic tool for optimizing fiscal mobilization results and attracting external funding for Communal investments.
The document establishes clear connections between the PFC, the Communal Development Plan (PCD), and Communal planning schemes, all sharing the same geographic space and participatory approach. It emphasizes public investments within Communal competence, based on internal revenue projections, central government subsidies, and external funding mobilization. The plan includes 27 priority projects across five domains of Communal competence, with detailed project sheets and financial estimations.
Key features include the establishment of a Communal Citizen Participation Committee (CCC) to monitor implementation and the integration of territorial planning considerations to ensure coherent Communal renovation policies. The PFC serves as both an incentive document explaining why citizens should contribute taxes and a strategic framework for sustainable local development through improved public service delivery.
