\nThe survey, in particular, will help evaluate and monitor the USAID local governance interventions as well and inform the broader donor community on the reform outcomes. The specific objectives <\/strong>of the evaluation are twofold: on the perceptional dimension: to measure 1) citizen knowledge and attitude towards implemented reforms, 2) level of trust towards the local government and 3) practice of participatory mechanisms in decision-making through conducting a representative household survey in the clusters assigned.
