Ø  You are calling for greater autonomy for our regions and municipalities, as well as the full transfer of powers and resources.

Ø  In this regard,

• I shall speed up the transfer of skills and resources to decentralised local authorities in order to respond directly and effectively to the citizens' needs.
• I shall continue to implement mechanisms for citizen oversight and popular participation in local management in order to ensure good governance and combat corruption.
• I shall improve the legal framework for decentralised cooperation in order to strengthen access to external funding by municipalities and regions.
• I shall ensure that the status of local civil servants is established more quickly.
• I shall provide stronger support for the development of decentralised local authorities, which are powerful drivers of emergence, the consolidation of national unity, strengthening of peace and building of coexistence.
