The Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) has initiated a project titled as Participatory Local Governance (PLG) to assist the governments in Punjab and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa to further strengthen their local governance system towards improved services delivery to the citizens. PLG builds on the earlier gains of its two completed projects in Punjab and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa  i.e., the Support to Local Governance Project and the FATA Development Project by creating synergies on the already achieved results and the capacities built. The PLG will provide support mainly in three areas i.e., local revenue generation, participatory development planning, and digitalization for improved services delivery.

GIZ has partnered Center for Peace and Development Initiatives (CPDI) to assist the Government of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (GoKP) in evolving a structure for and building capacities around participatory local development planning in the province.
