No RPT124750, ADB Reports from Asian Development Bank (ADB)

Abstract: This report summarizes the experience and lessons learned in a community-driven development pilot project in the People’s Republic of China from 2006 to 2009. The involvement of government and nongovernment organizations, innovative project implementation mechanisms, capacity building, and targeting of vulnerable groups were all instrumental in the success of the project, which had a positive impact on individual and community well-being, on the provision of local government services, and in reducing poverty. The report also discusses challenges that arose during the project that will have to be addressed before the community-driven development approach is more widely implemented in the country and elsewhere in Asia.
