Abstract
In the India operations of the World
Bank, there is little evidence as yet to substantiate that
community based procurement results in value for money in a
fair and transparent manner. In order to understand
community based procurement in relation to Value for Money
(VFM), governance and accountability, a study was needed to
explore these concepts and their dynamics. The present study
focuses on Community Based Procurement (CBP) outcomes across
completed sub-projects. The study on CBP was carried out in
84 successful subprojects from three Community Driven
Development (CDD) projects in India (in the states of Andhra
Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh and Tamil Nadu) and local government
units (Gram Panchayats) in the state of Kerala, to explore
linkages both in terms of enablers and outcomes. The study
considers only completed and successful sub-projects to
determine reasons that led to its success. The findings may
have been impacted positively by this purposive selection.
