HOW DOES THE ACTIVITY WORK?
Governance in Action aims to help Peru’s national and local governments work together more effectively to provide crucial services, such as healthcare, education, and waste management, among others, in select Amazonian and Andean regions of the country.
USAID’s local partner, Instituto de Estudios Peruanos (IEP), will start by identifying what is most needed in 60 districts across 7 regions. They will develop a customized plan for each region to improve the equity of these services.
The activity will focus on improving services that make a real difference in people’s lives, giving everyone a fairer chance to grow and succeed. It will create opportunities to partner for districts with similar needs, improving their decision making and engagement with the people they serve.
By helping both national and local governments to provide services more fairly, especially to those who are most vulnerable and often left out, the activity will build trust in government. It will also give citizens more power to participate in their local economies and improve their communities.
