Abstract
Community driven development (CDD) is an
approach that emphasizes community control over planning
decisions and investment resources. A rigorous evaluation
process helps determine CDDs effectiveness in various
settings and highlights areas that need strengthening for
second phase programs or new projects. This note summarizes
the findings of a recently conducted study, What have been
the Impacts of World Bank Community Driven Development
Programs? CDD impact evaluation review and operational and
research implications (Wong 2012), which synthesizes the
impact evaluation results of seventeen World Bank CDD
programs over the past twenty five years. The study finds
that, on the whole, these projects achieved their stated
goals of poverty welfare reduction, poverty targeting, and
increased access to services. Evidence on governance, social
capital, spillovers, and conflict impacts, however, is found
to be limited and mixed.
