Abstract
This note discusses the interface
between community-driven development (CDD) and
decentralization. In particular, it focuses on the aspects
of decentralization programs related to local government
capacity building, where the practical application of CDD
principles becomes meaningful. The note considers how the
principles of CDD are being incorporated into local
government capacity building projects, and examines where
potential limitations may exist. It does not intend to be a
comprehensive review of either CDD or decentralization but
rather to use a few examples, especially in projects under
preparation or implementation in Africa, as illustrative of
this emerging approach.
