CALL FOR JOBS
ADVISER TO THE STRATEGIES
OF ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AND IMPROVEMENT OF FINANCIAL RESOURCES OF
THE LOCAL GOVERNMENTS
The MDP is an international association made
up of eighteen (18) national associations of local governments of
Central and West Africa. The MDP started operating since 1992 on the
African municipal scene and is to contribute to the improvement of
the living conditions of the populations thanks to the reinforcement
of the municipal institution and the decentralization approach. It
has just adopted a plan of restructuring and is fixed from now on
for mission of reinforcing, in close partnership with the
associations of local powers and the national administrations, the
local governments in the exercise of their competences. In order to
fulfil this mission, the MDP retains a structuring of its activities
in two poles in order to, on the one hand, support the associations
of local governments to provide services to their members and, on
the other hand, act in order to improve the legal, institutional and
tax environment of the local governments. These poles are as
follows:
-
1st Pole: Capacity building of the
local governments and their associations in order to provide
services to the populations;
-
2nd Pole: Accompaniment of the
decentralization processes.
-
3rd Pole: Support to the
associative life and the transversal functions of the MDP
To reach the goals of its interventions, the
MDP has the support of the technical and financial partners, among
which we can name among many others, the Canadian International
Development Agency (CIDA), the French Ministry for Foreign Affairs
(MAE), Directorate of the Development Cooperation of Switzerland (DDC),
the European Union Commission. In the framework of the
implementation of its restructuring plan and the implementation of
the action plan which results from this, the MDP hereby launches a
call for jobs in order to recruit:
