Community driven development (CDD) is an approach, particularly in large rural development programmes, which puts communities and local government in control of the development process. In particular, control over planning decisions and investment resources.
CDD brings together, in a practical manner, participatory approaches, subsidiarity in governance, community empowerment, responsive government, and local capacity building.
Experience has shown that given appropriate financial support, poor men and women can effectively work together and with local government to organise themselves and address local problems.
ITAD has worked on CDD projects in India, Bangladesh and China. This has involved developing systems for community-government interaction in small scale infrastructure development, monitoring and recommending improvements to CDD implementation modalities, and designing CDD interventions for loan-funded poverty reduction programmes.
