The Local Government Enhancement Sector Project (LGESP) was approved by ADB on 29 September 2012 with an amount of $59 million equivalent from ADB‘s Special Fund Resources. The loan became effective on 29 November 2011 and the loan closing date is 31 December 2016. Ministry of Provincial Council and Local Government (MPCLG) is the executing agency, and subproject coordination unit (SPCU) is established in each provincial council (total seven) to supervise and coordinate and project implementation. LGESP has been supporting local infrastructure improvement and basic service delivery in less-developed areas in seven provinces (excluding the Northern and Eastern Provinces), based on a bottom-up, demand-driven approach. The additional financing is required to scale up a well-performing project. It includes (i) improvement of water supply systems in areas affected by chronic kidney diseases (CKD); (ii) improvement of local infrastructure and basic services delivery; and (iii) advancing policy reform of local government and strengthening their capacity. 2. Additional Financing. The additional financing will scale up the project that is performing well, by supporting water supply systems improvement in CKD-affected areas, and improving local infrastructure and basic services delivery and advancing local government policy reform and capacity
