Despite global progress in fighting poverty there are problems of inequality, climate change, environmental degradation, biodiversity loss, conflict, migration and refugee flows. The need has never been greater to develop to balance prosperity with social well-being and environmental protection. Several international conferences in 2015 set out new global agendas to deal with these challenges. There is global recognition that local governments have a significant role in implementing the agreed agendas with other state and non-state organisations.<br />
The Department Climate, Energy, Environment and Water (DME) of the Directorate General for International Cooperation (DGIS) of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs uses external expertise in the field of climate, energy, environment, water (including drinking water, sanitation and integrated water), raw materials and food security. Themes such as sustainability (people, planet, profit), international public goods and gender are an integral part of these policy areas. The Facility for the Deployment of External Facility has been established to meet this request for external expertise.
The Republic of Ghana currently counts 216 Metropolitan, Municipal and District Assemblies (MMDAs). These MMDAs are responsible for the development of their designated areas. However, this responsibility is not matched with sufficient funding. Currently, internally generated revenues make up approximately 15% of local government revenues. The overall objective of the project is therefore to contribute to an improved tax situation and revenue base at local level in order to enhance locally generated revenues necessary to finance public service delivery.
