The challenges faced by the country in the last years, which contributed to criticism of different international partners, appeared more evident during the elections, highlighting the absence of a rigorous separation of powers providing for the independence of certain bodies like the judiciary and key agencies such as the electoral commissions. Accordingly, the Head of State has very extended powers and the good functioning of the democratic system relies on his/her policy decisions. In this context, inclusion and consultation of the citizens in the policy decisions is all the more important. This action will contribute to consolidate the practice of consultations of the stakeholders in the policy and administrative decisions to be taken for the management of cities. It will also strengthen the position of the local administrations providing them with more tools to exercise their role. The downside related to data collection and cybersecurity is an important concern that will be one of the key priorities of policy dialogue and possibly addressed in the budget support operation."}, {"bbox": [83, 455, 472, 482], "category": "Section-header", "text": "## Conflict sensitivity, peace and resilience"}, {"bbox": [83, 481, 1145, 561], "category": "Text", "text": "Given its attention to connectivity and Geographical Information Systems (GIS) improvement, this action is expected to have a positive impact on peace and security, resilience and will contribute to a better prevention, management and mitigation or environmental/economic shocks."}, {"bbox": [83, 593, 321, 617], "category": "Section-header", "text": "## Disaster Risk Reduction"}, {"bbox": [83, 618, 1145, 726], "category": "Text", "text": "The improvement of internet coverage and the development of digital capacity in the public and private sector are important steps towards a better and comprehensive use of tools such as GIS.
