| Summary: | This paper aims to contribute to
learning on community engagement and community driven
development (CDD) in urban areas. Specifically, the review
describes the World Bank’s use of participatory and CDD
approaches in urban areas between 2003 and 2013; identifies
the challenges of using participatory and CDD approaches in
the urban context; assesses lessons from the application of
CDD in urban areas through case studies; and makes
recommendations for a way forward in terms of operational
approaches and further research to improve the application
of CDD in cities. In conducting the study, the team engaged
colleagues from social and urban development, and other
relevant sectors in order to leverage cross-sectoral
collaboration. The paper aims to provide a useful starting
point for dialogue and collaboration to contribute to
sustainable and inclusive cities. The findings of the review
are targeted to task team leaders and national and local
government officials who are interested in initiating,
expanding, or scaling up projects with a participatory
approach in urban areas. |
