Community
Driven Development (CDD) in the World Bank parlance refers to an approach where
communities have direct control over key project decisions as well as
management of investment funds. The CDD approach treats poor people as assets
and partners in the development process, building on their institutions and
resources. Monitoring and evaluation (M&E) in the CDD context can
potentially be much more that an input-output-outcome monitoring and a
reporting mechanism. This guidebook is about improving the implementation of
CDD projects using M&E as a management tool. It is built on the contention
that a learning-based M&E system, which involves different project
management levels and other stakeholders in a continuous process of learning,
can help the project management make course corrections, guiding project
strategy on an ongoing basis, ultimately leading to better project outcomes.
