Creating opportunities for successful local processes and enhancing the capacities of different types of local stakeholders (e.g. local governments, user associations, community based organizations, etc.) requires not only channeling more financial resources to them, it also requires creative thinking regarding the necessary regulatory frameworks and alternative decentralized financial mechanisms to secure funds (i.e. local capital markets, financial risk mitigation facilities, micro finance facilities, pay back guarantees, etc.). These have to be in place in order to build trust between local actors and donors, financial agents, development banks and private capital.
