Local Governance & Civil Society Empowerment

Palvest Consulting services address issues of local government management and efficiency in service delivery, citizen participation, promotion of transparency and accountability and the strengthening of civil society actors as effective dialogue partners with their respective local officials. Palvest Consulting also addresses the ties between the central government, regions and municipalities to build more effective service delivery at the local level.

Palvest Consulting has specific experience helping governments and citizen groups assess and foster positive links between democracy, good governance and economic growth. Assistance in this area focuses on issues such as legal and institutional change, and constituencies for reform, transparency, and public accountability. Few companies are providing any consultancy services in the area of local economic development. With its background in economic and local development, Palvest Consulting aims to fill this gap, and make its services and experience available for key stakeholders working on LED in Palestine, with strong focus on Public Private Partnership in the municipal sector (PPP).
