Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation (SDC) has extended support to KILA in three phases for Capacity Building for Decentralisation. The collaboration started in 1999, as part of the process of institutionalising decentralisation. The project was titled ‘Capacity Building for Decentralisation in Kerala’ (CapDeck). The first phase came to an end in March 2003, the second phase came to end in March 2007, and the third and consolidation phase will come to an end in December 2009. This collaboration substantially helped KILA to develop as a centre of excellence in decentralisation, by establishing a decentralised training system and building strong linkage with the Association of Local Governments. The collaboration continues with the aim of consolidating the learnings of the first two phases and developing KILA as an international institution of excellence.
