A
very important feature of the Devolution Plan is the participation
and involvement of non-elected
citizens in the development
process in their respective local areas. The institutional
arrangements for the attainment of this objective are provided
through CCBs. Section 98 of PLGO 2001, encompasses the objectives,
composition and scope of CCBs as under:
“In every local area, groups of non-elected citizens
may, through voluntary, proactive and self-help initiatives,
set up any number of Citizen Community Boards. Such Citizen
Community Boards shall be set up for the purposes of, inter
alia, energizing the community for development and improvement
in service delivery, development and management of a new or
existing public facility, identification of development and
municipal needs, mobilization of stakeholders for community
involvement in the improvement and maintenance of facilities.
