KALAHI-CIDSS Tracer Study
This is an exploratory study that aims to figure out what enables or hinders local governments and communities from adopting community-driven development (CDD). The information will be useful in finding ways to sustain the CDD approach, and the benefits that come with it. It would enable KALAHI-CIDSS project implementers to dig deeper at the factors and dynamics at the local level and provide some guide on how stakeholders (reformers) can push for local reforms, like CDD, that can have a national impact.
The tracer study wants to answer the question: To what extent have the key assumptions about community-driven development, operationalized through the KALAHI-CIDSS, been realized in the study area? The municipality of Enrique Villanueva (EV), in the province of Siquijor, was chosen as the study area to derive initial answers to the research questions. EV is part of the first set of 11 municipalities of KALAHI-CIDSS implementation. KALAHI-CIDSS was implemented in EV from 2003 – 2012. Since it has been around a decade since KALAHI-CIDSS was implemented there, EV would be a good place to study how KALAHI-CIDSS evolves in a municipality over time. The study was conducted over a period of four (4) months, from July to October 2015.
