It is in this context that the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) introduced the Capacity Building Programme for Local Government and Service Delivery (CBPLGSD) from 2012 to 2015 in partnership with the Ministry of Local Government, Public Works and National Housing in Zimbabwe. The central research focus was to evaluate the capacity-building programme, and draw insights that could be useful post-2015 as the nation re-engages with UNDP under the Zimbabwe United 17 Nations Development Assistance Framework. The concept of capacity building focuses on enhancing the role of central government in ensuring effective service delivery through effective partnerships between governments and non-state actors. Data collection utilized structured questionnaires and semi-structured interviews. Data analysis used SPPS and content analysis. Research findings showed that critical stakeholders felt left out from the onset indicating inadequate consultation processes. Lack of participation affects ownership of the outcomes by stakeholders. The key recommendations are the need for active participation by all stakeholders and confidence building on the part of government in dealing with non-state partners in order to maximize the attendant technical and social benefits.
