Community-Driven Initiative for Food Security (CIFS) sponsored the data collection on the 60 selected communities on their development issues. The outcome of this is the Community Action Plans (CAPs) which serves as the communities’ own development plan and, at the same time, for the District Assembly as one of the main inputs for the preparation of this Medium-Term Development Plan. 

The District Capacity Development Team (DCBT) trained the Community Capacity Development Teams (CCBTs) to collect data from the communities and to facilitate community members to make their own CAPs. Through this exercise, the most serious problems which hinder the people to improve their lives in the selected communities were identified, analysed, and incorporated into their CAPs. Later, those felt needs from the communities were harmonised at the Area Council and the district levels respectively.
