Devolution is not opposed because of
capacity constraints, shortage of technical
manpower, the quality or awareness of local
elected leaders or any such thing. Its opposed
simply because it created such a huge disruption
in the political economy of corruption.Long

Community Empowerment

• In Chapter X of the Local Government Ordinance
  2001, launched 14th August, 2001, CCBs are
  contemplated as
• In every local area, groups of non elected
  citizens may, through voluntary, proactive and
  self help initiatives, set up any number of
  Citizen Community Boards.
• The LGO 2001, has legal provisions for CCBs to
  undertake community development projects based on
  community needs.
• CCBs are required to finance 20 of the project
  cost, whereas the local governments are required
  by law to finance the remaining 80.
• 25 of the development budget at the district,
  tehsil, and union level

Role of DTCE

• Community Empowerment elements of the LGO 2001
  are not self activating. DTCE is a catalyst to
  facilitate the creation of an enabling
  environment for community empowerment to be
  realized.
• Vision
• Empowered communities of proactive citizens
  engaged in self-development with support of local
  governments
• Mission
• To create a new relationship between the citizen
  and the state based on shared rights and
  responsibilities for community empowerment.
