Citizen Community Boards

The salient feature of Local Government Plan 2000 is that first time in history of Pakistan, government made the provision to involve the local community and civil society in decision making for efficient delivery of services at grassroot level as well as to build sense of ownership and responsibility among the community (NRB, 2000, p. 1-2; Anjum, 2005, p. 48). The government came up with the idea of Citizen Community Board (CCB) that was based on the successful model of Matching Grant Program. Through Citizen Community Board (CCB) the proactive elements of community can initiate the development and non-development activities through voluntary, proactive and self-help initiatives for community development, community welfare and delivery of local facilities at grassroot level (NRB, 2001a; NRB, 2006, p. 65).
