Getting political support

Political support and personal involvement of individuals such as the mayor will contribute to the success of your project. Think carefully about how you will generate support for your work, who you’d like to champion your work, and how they might do this.

In Bamako and Bizerte, for instance, the mayors have participated in some meetings to demonstrate approval. In Kigali and Kampala, the municipality appointed specific people to work on the project and ensure human resources needs are met.
