  1. Informal Workshop on Community-Driven Development (CDD) in WCA Introductory Remarks Mohamed Béavogui, Director, Africa 1, IFAD

  2. Strengthen the capacity of the rural poor and their organizations, and improve the pro-poor focus of rural development policies and institutions: Work with partners to improve service delivery and decentralized decision-making Continued investment in CDD and monitoring of experience Development and promotion of participatory M&E Knowledge sharing with regional and national partners and effective grassroots strengthening investments CDD is a strong strategic pillar to “enable the rural poor to overcome their condition”

  3. Internal Context: Involvement in CDD-Local Development Projects seven years ago: time to take stock Hub to foster policy change and regional integration, Fidafrique to improve Knowledge generation and sharing Field Presence, PBAS, RIMS: How would these processes translate at field / community levels? External Context: Constructive tension between Globalization and Decentralization; Articulation between the Global, Regional, National Institutions and Community / Citizens Institutions; New intervention frameworks: NEPAD, PRSP, MDBS, SWAPs… should CDD be one of the main processes? Many peer institutions are working on CDD Key issue: how to make these processes “empowering”? CDD in an Evolving Context…

  4. Share the Lessons: Field Perspective: Review of 5 projects, country participants, regional actors… Peers’ Perspective: World Bank, CIRAD, Council of Europe… Internal Perspective: Regional Divisions, Technical Division, Policy, Resource Mobilization, Evaluation… Foster Partnerships: Develop a common vision; Implement coherent interventions; Solve problems and inconsistencies; Learn Together Improve the Knowledge base: key issues… Why This Workshop?

How to measure governance? • What are the changes to foster in our own operational processes? Are they empowering? • How to foster partnerships and linkages?

  6. Expected Results of the Workshop • Have a better understanding and internalization to build a common vision, a renewed approach and adapted operational mechanisms; • Develop an approach that is well articulated with IFAD’s mandate, and at the same time reflecting the evolving concerns of our country and development partners; • Identify areas for collaboration, partnerships, innovation, R&D • Devise Mechanisms to upscale CDD operations and enhance impact • Concrete Approach and Plan of Action to be implemented in the coming three years…
