Municipal Development and Lending Fund

Since it was established, the Municipal Development and Lending Fund recognized that sound  strategic planning is the best way to reach any of goals serving our national goals. Given the
importance of the services provided by the local government units in the State of Palestine to the  citizens with the aim of improving their lives, it is required to constantly develop their performance
and ensuring that they conform to the reform policies in the local government sector and ensure its  alignment with national agenda.
Therefore, the MDLF’s Board of Directors worked on developing this strategic plan for the years  2017-2021 within the aforementioned context and in line with national policies and plans, the crosssectorial strategy for the ministry of local government, and the MoLG’s strategic plan. The new  strategic plan has been developed following extensive examination of what has been achieved over  the past years: reviewing the extent of achievements of previous objectives, analyzing the current  work environment while monitoring changes that have taken place during the last period, identifying  the strengths and weaknesses, examining the opportunities and challenges and defining the strategic  objectives for the next five years. A well-defined vision was put in place in order to empower local  government units as we help them lead the development process locally, to improve the coverage  and the quality of services they provide. This, we know, will positively affect the lives of citizens and  enhance their steadfastness.
