Closing @CTPDZambia @zambiaasks #CDFstudy launch, CTPD Director - our two orgs believe CDF can give poor people & communities a fighting chance, as long as identified challenges are addressed. We expect CDF to be increased in tomorrow's budget. It must not be a lost opportunity.
#CDFStudy challenges found in empowerment funds :
-Misuse of Empowerment Grant Money
-Low Repayment Rates for Empowerment Loans
-Limited Participation of Women in Empowerment Grants.

Challenges with Teveta accredited institutions. Advertising programmes they do not offer
Low response in rural areas
Dropping out
@CTPDZambia @zambiaasks
#CDFstudy challenges found in empowerment funds:
Misuse of grant money - shared for consumption.
Low repayment of loans - treated like grants. Others do not know how to pay back
Limited participation of women in empowerment loans. Used as fronts.
@CTPDZambia @zambiaasks
#CDFstudy challenges found in project implementation:
Limited local contractor capacity
Poor road networks
Poor monitoring & evaluation mechanisms
Bureacractic delays e.g in disbursement
Rapid price changes
Conflict between WDCs & contractors
@CTPDZambia @zambiaasks
#CDFstudy majority (77%) are agriculture, livestock, fisheries related, seconded by financial services with manufacturing third. @CTPDZambia @zambiaasks
#CDFstudy there's reduction in project funds uptake with high uptake in loans & grants. Rural areas show low uptake in bursaries (because cash is not paid out). Urban constituencies have higher demand for skills component (because there are industries) @CTPDZambia @zambiaasks
#CDFstudy sampled 17 constituencies with a balance of urban-rural, ruling party-opposition. @CTPDZambia @zambiaasks
#CDFstudy shows that any GDP growth completely leaves out rural areas. Residents of rural areas do not be fit for growth that might impact their urban peers. @CTPDZambia @zambiaasks
The #CDFstudy confirms that over 60% Zambians, especially those in rural areas, are living in absolute poverty @CTPDZambia @zambiaasks
