It comprises three inter-related components: (1) Inclusive Democracy; (2) Human Rights and Justice; and (3) Local Governance. Social inclusion, conflict transformation and accountability are overarching themes that enhance the internal coherence of the Programme and provide it with strategic direction. Component I, Inclusive Democracy, focuses on strengthening political actors, institutions and public dialogues for democratic change. Component II, Human Rights and Justice, focuses on addressing impunity and human rights and enhancing access to justice for poor and marginalised women and men. Component III, Local Governance, supports a national and multi-donor financed programme on local governance and community development (LGCDP) geared towards reducing poverty through inclusive, responsive and accountable local governance and participatory community-led development. Components I and II are implemented through a Programme Implementation Unit (PIU), DanidaHUGOU, which in Phase III focuses on development of strategic partnerships and joint, harmonised funding mechanisms. Component III is implemented through the Ministry of Local Development and is administered by the Embassy of Denmark.
