How does this build community capacity?
MACA proposes to develop a new financial management and technical support system that helps communities:
  • plan priorities and make more informed financial decisions;
  • achieve and manage multi-year block funding arrangements;
  • provide accurate and timely financial information to residents, banks and funding agencies;
  • measure and report progress on the performance of plan activities; and
  • access to alternative sources of funding.

How will this happen?
