Summary: | When properly designed, community based
programs can be highly effective in managing natural
resources, providing basic infrastructure or ensuring
primary social services. Participation in community based
development (CBD) depends on reversing control and
accountability from central authorities to community
organizations. Successful design requires tapping into local
needs, understanding and building on the strengths of
existing institutions, and defining the changes needed in
intermediary implementing agencies to support community action. |
