Description

Supporting Partnerships for Accountability and Civic Engagement is a new programme supported by DFID to improve engagement between government and the people in Burma/Myanmar. The funding will support civil society and local authorities to make public institutions more responsive to people's service delivery and economic needs.
SPACE is comprised of four components;
1. Fostering partnerships for reform: DFID will support Pyoe Pin for two years to strengthen partnerships around reforms that bring about tangible improvements in people's lives.
2. Building community capacity to engage with local government: DFID will build the capacity of citizens and local organisations in one state and one region1 to become better at articulating what they want from local government, better at monitoring what it does, and better at holding it to account.
3. Building local government capacity to engage with communities: In the same state and region, DFID will fund the World Bank and UNDP to build the capacity of Township and Village Tract authorities to respond better to the needs of communities
4. Evidence and Learning: DFID will appoint a new team to learn as much as possible from the above initiatives in terms of what works and what doesn't in fostering a more productive relationship between local government and communities.
