The Sub-National Governance and Development Programme (SNGDP) will follow on from the second and final phase of the Local Governance Support Programme.

As such, SNGDP will build on the achievements of LGSP, particularly with respect to:

(i) providing the Government with support to develop and implement decentralization policies and strategies1 ;

(ii) consolidating and strengthening Timor-Leste’s sub-national investment planning, financing and implementation processes.
