The government identified as a sector priority the strengthening of institutions and governance by 1) ensuring institutions have the capacity and resources necessary to carry out the roles of leadership, and regulation, putting an end to overlapping roles and uncoordinated actions, and 2) generating decentralized technical capacities and structures at the local government level for better governance.
