USAID’S STRENGTHENING RESOURCE MOBILIZATION ACTIVITY: KEY ACCOMPLISHMENTS
USAID’s Strengthening Resource Mobilization Activity is a 5-year project, assisting North Macedonia’s municipalities to raise and independently manage the resources necessary to fund services demanded by its citizens.
The project is designed to collaborate directly with all 81 municipalities to build capacity and improve local government functions to
bring greater accountability and decision-making responsibilities closer to citizens. At the heart of the project is the goal of improving financing for self-reliance and sustainability while providing improved services in response to the citizens needs.
This is made possible by:
1. strengthening of the local tax and fee collection system,
2. improving the management of own-source revenues and the budgeting process,
3. increasing local government’s ability to access external funding to meet the needs of the community
