The Government of India-UNDP project Capacity Development for Local Governance is implemented by the Ministry of Panchayati Raj and aims to strengthen institutions and mechanisms so as to enhance capacities of elected representatives (ERs) and functionaries for human development oriented, inclusive planning, implementation and improved accountability in local governance. 

Keeping in mind various training programmes conducted by state level institutions on a range of topics, UNDP planned to develop a repository of training materials and modules to train ERs and officials of PRIs with the aim of sharing the resources electronically. The main purpose of the repository was exchange of information and avoiding any duplication of resource material already available.
