The local priorities and partnership activity (lppa) is a USAID-funded activity that will support ugandan regional organizations to achieve this objective. Lppa will ensure there are reputable, inclusive, functional, and sustainable regional platforms to pursue sound, evidence-informed, and scalable development approaches and initiatives. Activity goals and purpose: the goal of this activity is to develop the regional platforms into reputable, inclusive, functional, and sustainable entities that are capable of pursuing sound, evidence-informed, large-scale, and regional-centered development approaches and initiatives. Activity purpose: the activity purpose is to work with local ugandan implementing partners that will support the regional platforms in their work with stakeholders and research partners. Lppa will ensure ugandan organizations like the regional platforms have the capacity to operate independently and sustainably, and lppa will render support that enhances their organizational, leadership, technical, and administrative abilities. Activity-level expected results: the activity will achieve this goal through the following four activity-level results. Sub-purpose 1: improve the administrative and technical capacity of regional platforms to engage, coordinate, and manage stakeholders to collectively influence locally prioritized development. Sub-purpose 2: improve the leadership skills of individual members of the regional platforms. Sub-purpose 3:assist regional platforms to attract and leverage private sector support and investments. Sub-purpose 4: strengthen research partnerships to inform local decision-making and development assistance.
