ICDO-Lalitpur focuses on actions which enable poor and oppressed sections of the community to obtain equitable access to resources and services. This approach involves intervention at local, as well as district and national levels. Emphasis will also be on lobbying for priority populations’ rights-based policies, strategies, and programmes through adopting evidence-based and participatory advocacy approach. ICDO-Lalitpur also focuses on supporting local institutions as well as groups/CBOs to be more inclusive, democratic, and transparent in their functioning so that poor and oppressed groups will have a proper voice and an equitable share of resources.
Promoting accountability among elected or representatives’ bodies is central to ensuring good governance. From CBO level upwards, and including other local structures such as cooperatives, user’s groups, and local government structures, ICDO-Lalitpur will actively promote the tools and mechanisms such as social audits, public hearings, gender, and inclusion-responsive participatory planning, monitoring and evaluation, budget and expenditure tracking, entitlement monitoring to enhance good governance among local bodies.
