Municipal project portfolio

Turn a municipal development plan into a portfolio of municipal projects prioritised and structured for financing windows.

Programme modelReplicable model: sizing assumptions, to be adapted to each territory.

The vision

Most municipal plans remain lists of needs. The programme turns them into investment portfolios: data-driven prioritisation (Observatory), project-by-project structuring, a multi-window financing plan and delivery steering over the term of office.

Programme components

Data-driven diagnosis

Territorial profile, indicators, mapping of needs and potential.

Prioritisation

Projects selected on published impact and feasibility criteria.

Structuring

Project sheets to the standards of the targeted windows, budgets in FCFA.

Financing plan

Public investment budget, national decentralisation funds, donors, local PPPs, decentralised cooperation.

Steering & accountability

Public portfolio dashboard, half-yearly reviews.

Intended effects, to be measured

  • A measurably higher execution rate of the municipal plan.
  • Strengthened municipal contracting-authority capacity.
  • Citizen and partner trust (published accountability).

Anchor — where our legitimacy on this model comes from

Mobilisable anchor: the XP-NOVA method, the promoter's track record in technical-financial supervision of public projects (DGTC 1989–1999) and in public investment programme audits (Gabon PIB, 2005).

Our place

ODT replaces neither the mayor, nor the ministry, nor the funder. It designs, integrates and verifies.

ODT is an architect, an integrator and a trusted third party. It coordinates and designs; it does not replace sector authorities and does not hold the funds. Each model or principle described here is tested on the Productive Territories demonstrators, whose status is dated.

From model to programme
