With funding from the Canadian International Development Agency (CIDA), more intensive work in the first social audit focus district, Lasbela, began in early 2003, and will continue until 2006. The intention is to improve public services through evidence-based planning, with training for local officials, and to improve governance through increased citizen participation in planning and monitoring services. In focus districts the CIET team is working with government at district, tehsil (county) and union level (the lowest administrative unit), and with Citizen Community Boards and other community groups to build capacities for collecting, analyzing and using information to plan and implement priority improvements to key public services.
