IS IT WORKING FOR MINE HOST COMMUNITIES? Constituency Development Fund (CDF) is a government budget allocation mechanism that channels a specific portion of the national budget to the constituencies to finance development projects. As a mechanism, CDF is appreciated because it is perceived as an appropriate tool for the effective delivery of projects, direct financing of community development, facilitation of the local population in development as well as responds directly to the concrete development demands of constituencies. Is CDF working for Mine-Host communities? This is a question left unanswered. This 4th of June we gather for an in-depth conversation in an attempt to answer the question - IS CDF WORKING FOR MINE-HOST COMMUNITIES?
