One of the central and distinctive features of the Sustainable Livelihoods Approach is that it aims to put people at the centre of development and Community-driven Development (CDD) is a practical means of doing this, but evidence of improved development outcomes is sparse. Whilst CDD promises much, in some cases such processes can lead to elite capture and erosion of strategic institutional capacity.

The 2nd seminar in this series will be hosted by Khanya-aicdd : http://www.khanya-aicdd.org and will draw on the expertise of a range of researchers and practitioners from Southern and East Africa and internationally to analyse CDD theory and practice in relation to the key principles of SLAs, thereby contributing to and progressing debate on the relationship between SLAs and CDD. The seminar will be held on 26th March 2009 in Johannesburg.
