  1. CLGF Working Session Building capacity for LG to perform Ron McGill

  2. Three parts to the session In the context of UNCDF’s mandate to invest in the LDCs; we need to understand: • Performance, in terms of getting LG to deliver; • Capacity, in terms getting LG to be able to perform; and • Organisation, as the basic building block for things to actually happen. Plus a bonus item! Ron McGill

  3. Performance - getting LG to deliver Measuring the ECONOMY, EFFICIENCY and EFFECTIVENESS of delivery • Budget • Actual • Variance • % variance (1) = Economy of inputs (where T = 100%) Ron McGill

  4. Controllable performance • A = % specification • B=% time (2) = (A+B)/2 = Efficiency of outputs (where T = 100%) Ron McGill

  5. The 3 Es = performance budgeting • C = % occupancy rate / use of facility • D = % assessment of 'problem solved' (3) = (C+D)/2 = Effectiveness of impact (where T = 100%) T = (1+2+3/3) = Total performance Ron McGill

  6. Capacity - LG able to perform Ron McGill

  7. Capacity - LG able to perform Ron McGill

  8. Capacity - LG able to perform Ron McGill

  9. Capacity - LG able to perform Ron McGill

  10. Capacity - LG able to perform Ron McGill

  11. Organisation - basic building block And an interesting test of DECENTRALISATION progress! • Number of posts required. • Number of posts established. • All established posts to perform each devolved function, filled in the district? • All established personnel fully trained to perform the devolved functions? Ron McGill

  12. Organisation - basic building block 5. Facilities: accommodation, plus furniture, systems, equipment and transport provided (crucially, to include the transfer of assets). 6. Assessment of productivity: i.e. performing economically, efficiently and effectively in the performance of the function (the way to measure these 3-Es, which has just been outlined above). Ron McGill

  13. Bonus – gender equity UNCDF, in partnership with UNIFEM, has designed a new gender-equitable local development (GELD) programme in Senegal, Sierra Leone, Rwanda, Tanzania and Mozambique; with Ethiopia now joining. It has three components: • Planning and budgeting; • Equitable performance; and • Policy implications. Ron McGill

  14. GELD programme – the 4th ‘E’ GELD seeks to introduce a fourth ‘E’ into the 3-Es lexicon! It also seeks to give practical meaning to the MDGs. What disturbs UNCDF about MDG-3 is that ambitions for political representation is seen in terms of national government only!!! Its indicator number 12 states: ‘Proportion of seats held by women in national parliament’. For us local government practitioners, this suggests a lack of understanding of and belief in Local Government! Ron McGill

  15. GELD material – if desired • The original working paper that paved the way, for the programme. • The project document itself (slim and easily read!). • A subsequent conceptual paper on the human rights-based approach to local development, through the MDGs (equivalent of a journal article). • The first draft of a GELD planning and budgeting manual (to give life to the whole initiative). Ron McGill

  16. Conclusion 1. The GELD material is founded upon performance budgeting. UNCDF’s approach to PB is captured in Achieving Results (2006); available free online, with summary versions available at our stand.
