【 摘 要 】

In the last decade, Malawi, Tanzania,and Uganda have used the Community-Driven Development (CDD)approach to implement projects that exhibit multi-sectorallinkages, complex institutional structures andimplementation processes, creative tension between thesupply and demand sides, and convergence at the LocalGovernment Authority (LGA) level in environments compoundedby the pace of decentralization. The projects have broadenedthe issue of results focus from the measurement of a fewinput-output indicators to include intermediate outcomes(which measure beneficiaries potentially reached by outputsproduced by the projects). In the process, these projectshave been able to scale up from 'isolated boutique-typeprojects' to a mass production of outputs throughparticipatory decision-making, local capacity development,and community control of resources. At the national level,the projects have contributed to: (a) poverty reduction, (b)improved social welfare, and (c) improved transparency and accountability.
