Description of Project:
|
Within the MLG (Ministry of Local Government) and at the Council level, community development has been associated with the promotion of small-scale community projects aimed at social/economic upliftment. There is concern, however, that the performance of this sector is falling short of expectations and the need has been recognised to review current approaches to the delivery of community development services as a tool to strengthen the fight against poverty. The overall objective is to reduce poverty and improve the livelihoods of the poor and disadvantaged sections of the population, including youth and women. The purpose is to strengthen the capacity of the Ministry of Local Government/Councils to address community development as a key performance area by offering a framework for implementing a change process. This framework will link together aspects of dialogue and networking, policy and strategy formulation, programme development and Human Resources Development (HRD). Four results will contribute to the achievement of the project purpose.
