UNDP_National and local governance programme UNDP_Nationellt och lokalt styrningsprogram Ett av målen under det svenska strategisamarbetet 2021--2025 med Bolivia är att bidra till stärkt demokrati. Mer specifikt ska aktiviteter som genomförs under detta mål stärka främja demokratisk styrning, respekt för mänskliga rättigheter och rättsstatens principer.

I detta perspektiv syftar det föreliggande initiativet till att utveckla ett program till stöd för effektiv samhällsstyrning i Bolivia i syfte att stärka landets demokrati, så att det kan tillgodose alla bolivianare ett effektivt utövande och respekt för de mänskliga rättigheterna och en förstärkt ny styrningsmodell som syftar till att säkerställa social sammanhållning på olika administrativa nivåer. One of the objectives under the 2021-2025 Swedish Strategy Cooperation with Bolivia is to contribute to democracy. More specifically, the cooperation activities to be executed under this objective must strengthen agents that promote democratic governance, respect for human rights and the principles of the rule of law.  
In that perspective, the present initiative aims to develop an effective governance  program for Bolivia to strengthen its democracy, so the country can guarantee to all Bolivians an effective exercise and respect for human rights and an enhanced new governance model aimed to ensure social cohesion at the national and the sub-national levels. The general objective of this Effective Governance Programme is to support Bolivia in the construction of a new post-pandemic cycle, given the new political scenario after the 2020 and 2021 elections held in the country.

The idea is to develop a portfolio of solutions aimed to: i) the effective exercise of rights, ii) promote income generation based on innovative and environmentally friendly alternatives, and iii) strengthen social cohesion, through a new governance model based on inclusive and effective democratic governance arrangements.

This program is considered to be proactive with an adaptative management approach, in the sense that it intends to give UNDP the possibility, while working in the present initiative, to identify possible solutions to problems that may arise during its implementation. Further, given the complexity and sensitivity of the potential topics to be addressed by this initiative, important degrees of flexibility will be given to accomplish
the fulfilment of the four objectives, as envisaged below:
- Specific objective 1: To strengthen the deliberative, dialogue/negotiations and legislative management capacities in the national and sub-national legislative bodies to consolidate intercultural democratic governance based on governance agreements.
- Specific objective 2: To develop environmentally friendly innovations for the economic reactivation and empowerment of economic units (mostly led by women) to improve their productivity and insertion in new markets, while contributing to reduce inequalities
and vulnerabilities.
- Specific objective 3: To implement effective public policies to close inequality gaps, reduce vulnerability while effectively addressing social demands.
- Specific objective 4: To develop/reinforce intercultural dialogue practices to strengthen social cohesion and to build inclusive and effective democratic governance agreements
