Community-driven development (CDD)
has long been embraced by international
development partners as a means of
delivering public goods and strengthening
social capital and cohesion, particularly in
fragile contexts. To receive external support,
CDD projects often require co-financing
from communities through informal taxes –
non-market payments that are not required
or defined by state law and are enforced
outside the state legal system. Co-financing
is often incentivised through CDD grants,
with the requirement for informal taxes
largely justified based on the belief that they
will create a greater sense of ownership over
projects and increase their sustainability.
However, despite being widely embraced by
development partners and donors and being
incorporated into CDD programmes, there is
limited evidence about the impact of co- financing
requirements. First, it is unclear whether CDD
programmes can incentivise informal revenue
generation and local collective action. This is a summary of Working Paper 126 by Vanessa van den Boogaard and Fabrizio Santoro |
