Author

Abstract

The evaluation reported here was carried out to assess the effects of municipal service interventions in Khar, capital of Bajaur Agency, on achieving positive perceptions toward the key policy objectives of changes in citizen perceptions, more specifically the effects of these service delivery initiatives on citizen trust in state institutions and their perceptions of state’s work in the tribal areas. The results will guide implementation of the subsequent activities in Khar and in the remaining 13 locations designated to benefit from implementation of the project.
