Investing in CDCs and local communities is critical for long-term sustainability and building social resilience and cohesion. Underpinning the above-mentioned interventions, this component will provide assistance to build the capacity of CDCs and other local community institutions. It will support NGOs’ costs for activities related to community mobilization, planning, implementation, monitoring, and training on a variety of topics. These activities will complement interventions by other agencies in health, education and agriculture by raising community awareness of available services, helping to identify vulnerable beneficiaries, and assisting with information and knowledge campaigns related to healthcare services, vaccinations, nutrition, food assistance, and the importance of girls’ education. Supporting CDCs will also build strong accountability mechanisms at the community level for monitoring of activities and resolving grievances. Finally, working with CDCs is especially important as an entry point for supporting women.
