Posted SSI Forum 2020: Sustainable and Inclusive Communities: The Next Generation of Community-Driven Development on Documents
Community-driven development (CDD) programs put citizens at the center of designing their own solutions to development problems by fostering partnerships between communities and governments. CDD programs have increased livelihood opportunities for women, have delivered quick relief following natural disasters, and have helped close last-mile gaps in service delivery and infrastructure provision in some of the most remote and insecure parts of the world. So where do we go from here? How can we address new problems, from pandemics to conflict to climate change, and build stronger partnerships between communities and the state? How do we maximize the use of new technologies, and create economic opportunities in lagging regions?
