COMMUNITY DRIVEN DEVELOPMENT PROJECT (CDD PROJECT)

Project Development Objective

The development objective is to enable poor rural communities to benefit from improved access to and use of basic infrastructure and services through a people-centered approach and to enhance the government’s capacity to respond promptly and effectively to an eligible crisis or emergency.This approach will empower villagers to manage and participate in their own development. The objective will be achieved through: (i) financing community-identified rural infrastructure investments; (ii) strengthening the capacity of communities in partnership with local authorities to effectively identify, plan and implement their development priorities; and (iii) facilitating the participation of the poor and vulnerable, both women and men, throughout the project cycle at the community level.

Summary of Project Components

The project is comprised of five components, implemented over a period of approximately six years. Each component will include specific activities that seek a gender balance as well as to empower women.

1. Component 1: Community Block Grants (US$52.2 million), to finance three annual cycles of on average US$27,000 to about 640 village tracts in 15 townships for priority community level infrastructure. The infrastructure to be financed will be based on an open menu (using a negative list) and typically include small feeder roads, foot-paths and bridges, small dykes, drinking water systems, rehabilitation of class rooms and health centers, and small-scale rural electrification. Considering the unfamiliarity of government and communities with the concept of community empowerment, the first annual cycle in each township will contain a positive list of sub-projects that are easier to implement (using standardized designs). Block grants will be allocated through a participatory planning process covering all villages within a village tract. All village tracts in selected townships will be covered for equity purposes. Planning and prioritization of sub-projects will be undertaken by villagers and representative village tract forums.

2. Component 2: Facilitation and Capacity Development (US$14.2 million), to finance technical assistance and institutional support at the union and township levels, including the hiring of community facilitators for the purpose of supporting the implementation of community driven activities under component 1 and a grievance redress mechanism. In this context, it will support capacity development in areas such as participatory processes, project management, gender equality and inclusion, environmental management and social accountability for local committee members as well as government staff at the township, region/state and union levels.

3. Component 3: Knowledge and Learning (US$1.8 million), to support government staff and community and civil society representatives through learning from community based approaches implemented within Myanmar. Other activities will include south-south learning exchanges to expose government counterparts to successful community driven development approaches in ASEAN countries and other regions. There will also be annual multi-stakeholder reviews to share experiences from the previous cycle and discuss ways to improve the project’s design and implementation for the next cycle. These reviews will include lessons learned with regard to governance and anti-corruption measures. Moreover, the project will fund an annual “development marketplace” to highlight the most promising innovations in people-centered development in Myanmar with a view to initiating these in the project areas. Finally, a CDD gender network will be established for the project to improve gender equality and women’s empowerment.

4. Component 4: Implementation Support (US$11.8 million), to support project management at the union and township levels, including monitoring and evaluation, reporting and communications as well as administration and logistical support for project implementation. Furthermore, this component will include third-party financial and technical audits.

5. Component 5: Emergency Contingency Response (US$0 million), to allow for the rapid reallocation of grant proceeds from other components in order to provide preparedness and rapid response support to disaster, emergency and/or catastrophic events, as needed. The conditions for disbursement under this component are presented in Section G. below. The funds flow and disbursement arrangements will be determined at the time that a contingency response is activated.
