The development objective of the Community Based Rural Development Project is to improve the living conditions of village communities, in terms of sustainable income increase, access to basic socio-economic services, and improved natural resource management practices. The project would achieve its objective through capacity building, and investments in economic, social and environmental sub-projects, implemented by these communities. The capacity building component, reflects the fact that the long-lasting impact of community investments critically depends on: a) the organizational and managerial capacities of villagecommunities to design, and implement effective development plans; and, b) the technical capacity of providers of services to these communities. To this end, four subcomponents will support capacity building: consulting services to design, and implement investment planning, and, training assistance in organization and management capacity building of rural municipalities; capacity building of agricultural services; and, capacity building rural micro-enterprises. The second component supports development of investment funds, through Village Investment Funds, and Rural Communal Road Funds, focused on improving socioeconomic conditions. A third component, project management, monitoring and evaluation, shall provide management, administrative, and financial support during project implementation, as well as monitoring of performance indicators, and reporting requirements.
