 Community-Driven Development (CDD) is an approach to give control of decisions and resources to community groups. These groups often work in partnership with demand-responsive support organizations and service providers including elected local governments, the private sector, nongovernmental organizations (NGOs), and central government agencies.
CDD is a way to:
- provide social and infrastructure services
- organize economic activity and resource management
- empower poor people
- improve governance, and
- enhance security of the poorest.
CDD is relevant across many sectors.
 and the Bank's Operation Policy and Country Services (OPCS) Procurement sector have prepared the document entitled Fiduciary Management For Community Development - A Reference Guide (PDF, 488 Kb -- May 07, 2002). This document is a guide for Bank staff and clients contemplating, designing, or implementing projects that involve CDD. This work is the product of many experienced staff willing to provide comments, input and support in order to share the benefit of their experiences, lessons learned and practical suggestions to facilitate the increased use of community driven development in Bank-financed projects.
