In addition, LOGODEP aims to assist MMDAs in improving their capacity in financial management; economic development promotion; integration of decentralized departments into the assembly system; and to support sub-district structures to undertake their roles and functions.

LOGODEP seeks to improve existing service delivery systems at MMDA level, through the provision of training and technical assistance, and to widen the decision-making base by ensuring greater participation in the development process at community, sub-district and districts levels.

LOGODEP will actively support the on-going efforts of the District Assembly to improve internal capacities and to foster operational linkages with sub-district structures, decentralized sector departments, NGOs/CBOs and the private sector, as a means of ensuring decentralized management and citizen participation at the district level. The program is targeting all the 17 MMDAs of the Western Region and will also support the Regional Coordination Council in playing a more pronounced role in the technical backstopping of the District Planning Coordinating Units and its follow up of compliance issues.

LOGODEP result areas:
LOGODEP 's strategic emphasis is based on three result areas:
