Pidatala, KrishnaLenneiye, Nginya Mungai2012-08-132012-08-132007-12https://hdl.handle.net/10986/9545In 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.CC BY 3.0 IGOBASIC SERVICESBASIC SOCIAL SERVICESBENEFICIARIESCITIZENCOLLECTIVE ACTIONCOMMUNITIESCOMMUNITY CONTRIBUTIONSCOMMUNITY CONTROLCOMMUNITY DEMANDCOMMUNITY EMPOWERMENTCOMMUNITY HEALTHCOMMUNITY LEVELCOMMUNITY MONITORINGCOMMUNITY PARTICIPATIONCOMMUNITY SERVICECOMMUNITY-DRIVEN DEVELOPMENTCONFLICT RESOLUTIONELDERLYFAMILY PLANNINGFOOD PRODUCTIONGENDERGENDER EQUALITYHEALTH CENTERSHEALTH FACILITIESHOUSEHOLDSIMMUNIZATIONIMPACT INDICATORSINCOMEINCOME-GENERATING ACTIVITIESINFORMATION SHARINGINTERMEDIATE OUTCOMESINTERVENTIONSLEARNINGLESSONS LEARNEDLIVELIHOODSLOCAL AUTHORITYLOCAL CAPACITYLOCAL GOVERNANCELOCAL GOVERNMENTLOCAL GOVERNMENTSMATERNAL MORTALITYMILLENNIUM DEVELOPMENT GOALSMORTALITYNATIONAL LEVELNATURAL RESOURCESORPHANSOUTPUT INDICATORSPRAPRACTITIONERSPRIVATE SECTORPROGRAMSPROGRESSPROJECT MANAGEMENTQUALITY ASSURANCERESPECTSAFE WATERSANITATIONSERVICE DELIVERYSOCIAL ACCOUNTABILITYSOCIAL ACTIONSOCIAL CAPITALSOCIAL DEVELOPMENTSOCIAL FUNDSSOCIAL MOBILIZATIONSOCIAL SERVICESSOCIAL WELFARETRANSPARENCYUNIVERSAL EDUCATIONVILLAGE LEVELVULNERABLE GROUPSYOUTHWorld Bank10.1596/9545
