Activity Purpose Statement - citizen-centered, local service delivery approaches expanded nationally. Achieving the Activity purpose of expanding citizen-centered, local service delivery approaches nationally, requires achievement of the following three sub-purposes (SP): SP1: Expand effective service delivery of citizen-prioritized services. SP2: Increase citizen engagement in municipal decision-making. SP3: Broaden ownership of citizen-centered governance approaches It is anticipated that the Activity will target between 20 to 50 municipalities (ayil aimaks and/or cities) in four oblasts: Issyk-Kul, Jalal-Abad, Naryn, and Osh.
