Abstract: Donors have developed a number of different approaches to support decentralization, including grant programs for public infrastructure and community development planning. Such programs are designed both to build local officials capacity to govern, and to build ... read morethe community's capacity to set its own priorities and design its own development solutions. Two such programs are the Ubudehe process in Rwanda, and the World Bank Kecamatan Development Projects (KDP I, II and III) in Indonesia. Both programs provide grants to local level government to help support a government-sponsored decentralization effort, and to help build community capacity through participatory development planning. The paper finds that while the programs have different contexts, funding and mandates, they faced similar challenges. This paper analyzes these programs based on project documents and evaluations. Costs and benefits of each program are examined in light of the major obstacles they face. The final section of the paper compares the two programs, and draws out the major lessons learned, including differences in context, mandate, financial structure, funding and anti-corruption strategies.read less
