The JPLG works to ensure transparent, accountable and efficient local service delivery, by working at the following different enabling levels : Improving the legislative and regulatory framework for decentralized service delivery in all three zones of Somalia; Improving the capacity of existing and upcoming district councils;  Providing funding for service delivery through districts councils; and Developing the capacity of communities to generate the demand side governance at the local level. The JPLG plans to cover all areas of service delivery which have been assigned to the districts councils from basic social services to conflict resolution and land dispute settlement. Special emphasis has been placed on ensuring the rights of women and addressing gender issues in the JPLG2.6 Decentralization in Somalia is a response to the wide spread rejection of the centralized system of Somalia’s last central governments of 1961 – 1969 and 1969 -1991.  Since the early nineties the establishment of local governance structures has proceeded at different paces and depth across the country. Today’s vision of local governance is the establishment in all Somalia of effective local governance systems and the support to existing systems that are participatory, that facilitate the delivery of good quality, reliable, affordable and sustainable services to Somali people - and that locally elected bodies at the district level are accountable and transparent to the people.      In June 2011 DFID informed the JPLG that new funds for JPLG from DFID would not be able to be spent on the LDF until a fiduciary risk assessment was undertaken. Subsequent agreements were  made with DFID that in addition, the DFID funds available to UNCDF in 2011/2012 could only be spent on conducting such an assessment, that the DFID funds to UNDP were not to be spent on direct transfers to ministries, that the risk assessment would commence in 2011 once the new DFID funds arrived and that this fiduciary risk assessment must cover the following elements:  The transfer of district based basket funds from UNDP in 2009 and 2010 and then LDF funds from UNCDF from 2011 onwards to the respective District located Dahabshiil accounts The transfer of funds from UNDP to respective ministries’ Dahabshiil accounts in south central Somalia, Somaliland and Puntland The transfer of central government funds in Somaliland and Puntland, using the central bank system to JPLG target districts.
