I believe - we all pay taxes. I'm happy to pay it, but I hate to have it abused, money wasted, no accountability. That's going to bother you.

Introduction
Democratic Local Governance for development in Pakistan is being implemented by Centre for Peace and Development Initiatives. The project is being supported under the grant by European Union and Friedrich Naumann Foundation. The project has a geographical coverage to fifteen select districts. Three provinces including Balochistan, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and Sindh are being covered.
We aim to mobilize grass root level civil society organizations, local media personnel, citizens and Local Authorities to further strengthen local government institution in the country. The main objective, thus, is to improve the quality of life of people, especially the poor, marginalized and disenfranchised, living in the 15 select districts through a governance mechanism that is all inclusive, sustainable and participatory.
