The document discusses a study examining how community-driven development (CDD) programs affect local governance in Haiti. CDD empowers community groups to control planning and resources for local projects. The study aims to determine the extent and ways CDD impacts local governments and under what conditions. It outlines Haiti's context, a CDD program called PRODEP, and a theoretical framework expecting local officials to compete, accommodate, or undermine CDD. The methodology matches CDD and non-CDD communities to estimate CDD's average effect. Insights from the field note local governments' limited capacity but respected authority.
