How do CDCs promote accountability and transparency?
Community Development Plans are prepared and finalized and subprojects are selected through extensive public consultations with community members. Transparency in block grant utilization is ensured by informing community members on expenditures through public notice board and in large meetings both during and after implementation. The establishment of procurement, project management, monitoring committees contribute to greater transparency and accountability. An important aspect emphasised in the NSP financial and operational manuals is the social audit, which acts as ‘tool’ for transparency and accountability of CDCs to the larger community.
