Abstract
In the last decade, Malawi, Tanzania,
and Uganda have used the Community-Driven Development (CDD)
approach to implement projects that exhibit multi-sectoral
linkages, complex institutional structures and
implementation processes, creative tension between the
supply and demand sides, and convergence at the Local
Government Authority (LGA) level in environments compounded
by the pace of decentralization. The projects have broadened
the issue of results focus from the measurement of a few
input-output indicators to include intermediate outcomes
(which measure beneficiaries potentially reached by outputs
produced by the projects). In the process, these projects
have been able to scale up from 'isolated boutique-type
projects' to a mass production of outputs through
participatory decision-making, local capacity development,
and community control of resources. At the national level,
the projects have contributed to: (a) poverty reduction, (b)
improved social welfare, and (c) improved transparency and accountability.
