Project Name: 
Community Management Programme (CMP) . = . Strengthening Community Management in the Development, Construction and Maintenance of Human Settlements Facilities and Services. 		 .   . Project Code:
95/UGA/013

DN/UGA/91/D09)
Notice:    This fact sheet and its satellites are valid as of 1998 October.
 . 
The international funding of CMP Uganda ended 1998 October 31, with the completion of the UNCHS (Habitat) project, DN/91/UGA/D09 and IP/95/UGA/013. This was a decision of the Danish Government, through Danida, the main donor. The CMP email addresses were funded as part of the UNCHS contribution, so are no longer in operation. This web site, in contrast, is a donation of the Seattle Community Network (SCN) and will therefore continue. Project-specific documents will be kept as archival pages.   The training documents and guidelines have had popular support from practitioners around the world, and will be maintained and updated on this site as long as they are deemed useful.

Mission Statement:  .  . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .  . . . . . . . . . . . .. . . Next, Back or Top
To strengthen community management in the development and operation of (rural and urban) human settlements facilities and services.  The programme contributes to improving the living and working conditions of low- income people and is thereby reducing poverty. 
It aims to:
  • empower low income groups (eg women, youth, landless, the poor, the vulnerable) so that they can choose, plan and manage their own development, and to identify and make maximum use of their own (often hidden) resources; 
  • encourage and train community members and leaders in practical techniques of community participation, community development and community management (nb these are not the same) of facilities and services with a focus on human settlements;
  • encourage and train leaders, civil servants and ministry sectoral specialists in how to change from being providers of services to passive community recipients, to becoming facilitators or enablers of self help, community centred, development; 
  • encourage and influence the government's policies, laws and guidelines so as to facilitate the above; 
  • set up and routinize a monitoring system that involves the communities, local and central government; and
  • institutionalize and make sustainable the above processes.
The project is a "Community Development Plus" endeavour (ie community participation promotion plus community management training, plus government enablement) project which, through building human and institutional capacity, contributes to limiting poverty and improving living conditions among low-income residents.  The project as a whole is a capacity and institution building (strengthening) project rather than a housing or infrastructure project. Its methodology emphasizes "strengthening" and "sustainable development," and avoids "charity." 
Proposals From Community Based Organizations:
 . 
As part of the management training of community groups, proposals are invited from them, and support from CMP will be provided if certain criteria are met. A project will be supported if:
  • It represents priority goals of the whole community; 
  • It identifies their beneficiaries as the low income groups in the community, with women and youth having the highest priority; 
  • It is aimed at reducing poverty of low income groups, by improving community services or facilities, generating income for the target group, or otherwise improving their quality of life; 
  . 
  • It includes a substantial proportion (at least about half) of community inputs (where non financial contributions are assigned a monetary value); 
  • It is designed well, including all management and implementation details (guidelines & training available); 
  • The CMP contribution shall not exceed 10 m. Shillings; and 
  • It is accepted as a part of the parish and district overall developmental plans.

The national office, located in Kampala, serves as an information conduit from the UN and the Government of Uganda to the districts, and the target communities in the districts. It arranges for training and facilitating specialists who work in the districts. .  The programme is officially housed in the Directorate for Community Development which, up to the end of 1994, was part of the Ministry of Local Government. In November, 1994, the department was shifted to the Ministry of Gender and Community Development. The Minister is the Hon Janat Mukwaya.
 . 
The main focus of activity (animation and the training of low income community members as a form of mobilization), is carried out by the District Coordinators, assisted by the CDAs and mobilizers. . In accordance with the programme of decentralization in Uganda, the District Coordinators are responsible, through their CAOs, to the Local councils, Level 5 (ie District Governments) in their respective districts.
