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.
