Community Management Committees

Summary

As part of the Community Empowerment Program (CEP), we train Community Management Committees (CMCs) in the management skills necessary to implement development projects.

CMCs are made up of 17 democratically-selected members and at least nine of the 17 members must be women. Participation in the CMC helps women improve their confidence, leadership, and social standing by assuming prominent roles in their community.

The CMCs take forward the community’s vision for sustainable development and as community-based organizations, work with partners and others to meet community needs.
