Development Partners (DPs) expressed that discussion held in the meeting will add more value and quality in the programme implementation in the days to come. Furthermore, MoFALD's commitment to implement the LGCDP programme in the difficult political transition was highly appreciated and expressed commitment to support the programme in the future as well. Some of the major policy endorsed by the 4th NAC was reducing fiduciary risks, capacity development schemes (funds, functions and functionaries) to be developed for the new municipalities, Community Awareness Centers (CACs) expansion, and conduct study to design roadmaps for the new municipalities amongst others.
