SWABI: Minister for Local Government Shahram Tarakai on Wednesday said the extension of the Community-Driven Local Development (CDLD) programme to more districts was part of government’s commitment to devolve powers at a grassroots level.
The minister was speaking at the inauguration ceremony of the CDLD programme in the district. “The programme, with its focus on sustainable development through active community participation, has changed the course of local governance in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa,” he added.
Following months of consultations and arrangements by the district administration in Swabi, the groundwork has been completed for the extension of CDLD programme.
