- Establishing an efficient, demand-driven and complementary mechanism to deliver basic services and infrastructure to the poor.
- Mobilizing and channeling additional resources to the areas of basic social and economic infrastructure and social services.
- Increasing national institutional capacity to identify, design, implement, manage and sustain small-scale community-based projects.
