📋 Tender Overview
Project ID: P171762
Region: Africa
Commitment Amount: US$ 250.00 million
Proposed Development Objective(s):
The project is conceived as a vehicle to address in a holistic and comprehensive manner the public sector management challenges fundamental to the development of DRC, as identified by the SCD. This will be done through five mutually reinforcing components aimed at building public sector capacity for improved service delivery at the central and provincial level. The project’s theory of change is shown in Figure 1. It is in line with the approach to governance in sectors in the DRC developed by the Governance Global Practice.18 The PDO will be achieved through a combination of capacity building and systems strengthening measures at national and regional level, where appropriate, coupled with support to regulatory reforms and mainstreaming the use of technology, citizen engagement and multi-stakeholder platforms in all project components. All project activities are geared towards improving the effectiveness of beneficiary institutions and enhancing transparency and accountability through different mechanisms. The majority of the activities will take place at the central level and will be replicated benefitting from economies of scale in select provinces, in particular those of focus for the next Bank CPF for the country.19 A summary with the activities to be implemented at provincial level is provided in Annex 1. During project preparation, the team will explore the feasibility of extending support to selected provinces through performance-based grants. Given the multi-sectoral nature of the interventions, project management, communication and change management will play a key role as well.
