UCLGA has been awarded a direct programme grant from the EU, to be used to improve the capacity of the organisation to respond to the challenges faced by local government throughout Africa and to directly establish programmes which can extend the capacity of local governments on both the elected and managerial sides.
The terms of the EU grant prescribe a tender procedure. UCLGA wishes to engage with a partner from within local and regional government which has a proven capacity to assist with a range of activities.
Although all decisions about the appointment of contractors will be made by UCLGA in Rabat we are being helped in this process by a member of the UCLG Executive Bureau and Finance Committee of UCLG Cllr Richard Kemp CBE. He would be pleased to talk to you about this expression of interest and the work. He can be contacted by e-mail richardkemp68@yahoo.co.uk
