PDDP
Participatory Planning & Monitoring

PDDP assists the DDCs to implement a "trickle-up" planning and monitoring process, based on the principles of participation, transparent decision-making and coordination between political bodies, technical agencies, NGOs and the communities. This process documents people’s needs and the available resources at the grassroots and percolates it up through several prioritising layers to the district where they are incorporated into the District Development Plan. These Plans are then forwarded to the central level to be incorporated into the National Annual Plan to receive central funding.

Ilaka Level
The Ilaka Level Workshops discuss the programmes submitted from the village level. These plans are screened & prioritised through participatory discussions between representatives of the various line agencies, local authorities and the beneficiaries before being sent to the DDCs.

DDC Level
The prioritised lists of programmes from the Ilakas are analysed by the DDC’s four Sectoral Units. These lists are then discussed and approved by the District Council where after necessary discussions, they are incorporated into a single annual District Development Plan.

Central Level
The District Development Plans are forwarded by the DDCs to the National Planning Commission and the Ministry of Local development. These plans help policy makers approve & allocate national budget.

Periodic Plans
As per the LSGA, the DDCs and VDCs have to prepare periodic plans and define their long term vision and goals. PDDP offers technical assistance to the DDCs to help them prepare periodic plans.
