Guiding principles of CDD
• Reduce the gap between social policy planners and beneficiaries
• Generate funds for specific project initiatives (eg. Capacity building programs and occupational training)
• Promote and improve the capacity of communities, thus creating social capital.

Changes in Development Philosophy and Practice
Old Paradigm
• Driven by experts and well-funded agencies through a top-down approach
• Centralized• Designed without input
from beneficiaries
• Unsustainable
New Paradigm: CDD
• Driven from within• Decentralized• Taps into the
community’s knowledge of its own needs and capabilities
• Sustainable

Social Mobilization: Definition
An approach that engages and motivates a wide range of partners and allies at national and local levels. Members of institutions, community networks, civic and religious groups and others work in a coordinated way to reach specific groups of people for dialogue with planned messages.
