Local Governance Support Programme

The Local Governance Support Programme (LGSP) was established in early 2007 to provide support to the current Government plan to begin implementing nation-wide decentralization reform in 2008-9. LGSP provides direct technical support to the Ministry of State Administration and Territorial Management and other line ministries involved with the decentralization process.

LGSP’s main objective is to contribute towards poverty reduction in Timor-Leste through support to the establishment of a decentralized, accountable and effective local government. LGSP will do this through providing technical support in three main program areas: pilot local government assemblies, support to the development of an appropriate policy framework, and when the local government policies have been
approved, supporting the government in implementing local government reforms.
