Partners operate on the premise that successful communities capitalize on the strengths of decentralized decision making, economic development, urban management and service delivery. The LGI Partnership has defined four key results critical to achieving this vision of local government. Local governments are developing the financial tools, resources and practices needed to fulfill their responsibilities and improve the local economic base.
Local governments are more participatory and efficient.
Institutions are supporting local governments through training, advocacy, technical assistance and dissemination of best practices. LGI Partners have adopted a transition strategy which foresees strong, sustainable Bulgarian institutions that continue to advance reform and support needs of local governments long after the LGI, as a program, has completed its work.
