Governance Project (SNGP) is the fourth generation of a decentralization and local governance support project funded by the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) in Mali. SNGP follows the shared governance project called Programme de Gouvernance Partagée (PGP) and PGP2 (2003–2012), implemented by Management Systems International (MSI) and the Women in Local Governance Project that is implemented by a consortium of Development and Training Services (DTS) and Winrock International (2003–2005). Mali SNGP is a five-year, 22-million US dollar program (based on an execution of a two-year option period following the third year of successful implementation of activities achieving project objectives). The overall goal of the Mali SNGP is “to advance Mali’s decentralization process by creating and institutionalizing effective financial and asset management procedures, containing corruption, and improving overall operational efficiency in the management of Mali’s financial resources between Bamako and the regions, thus ensuring that public funds intended for decentralized services are delivered effectively and transparently.” To this end, the program focuses on Public Financial Management (PFM) as a catalyzing theme, and consists of three major interrelated components with cross-cutting encouragement and implementation of gender integration throughout all three components: (1) strengthen national and regional PFM systems; (2) improve coordination and communication between
