1. PROJECT BACKGROUND
The Municipal Support Program (MSP) is a five-year, USAID-funded program implemented by DAI. MSP aims to strengthen municipal-sector service delivery and promote local economic development in Jordan. MSP will strengthen municipal-sector service delivery by supporting improved governance and organizational culture through a focus on three interventions: key policy and service delivery reforms, municipal sector public financial management, and community engagement. Improved municipal service delivery will ensure that municipalities can respond effectively to citizens’ needs and create the conditions for investment and inclusive economic growth. MSP will also increase capital investment in the municipal sector. This investment is intended to catalyze local economic opportunities and further strengthen service delivery by supporting improved development planning, facilitating investor partnerships, increasing access to finance, and supporting renovation and construction of fixed assets including the provision of material resources. Across all interventions, MSP will increase the participation of marginalized groups, including women, youth, and persons with disabilities in municipal-sector decision-making. Participatory planning will improve marginalized groups’ access to public services and increase their economic opportunities. MSP will work across all of Jordan’s governates.
