The 2016 Fragile and Conflict-Affected Situations (FCS) Rural Community-Driven Development (CDD) Knowledge Exchange brings together representatives from Afghanistan, Myanmar, Nepal, Kenya, and Philippines, all FCS countries, to gain knowledge and to conceptualize potential approaches to improving community development efforts based on the implementation experiences and results of the Republic of Korea’s Saemaul Undong program. The Saemaul Undong program strove to improve the living standards and job opportunities of the rural areas of Korea in the 1970’s by applying an incentive based community driven development approach. Similar to many CDD programs worldwide, Saemaul Undong expanded from an initial focus on public goods, to supporting group savings and productive activities benefiting both households and communities. Participants will visit Saemaul Undong sites, learn of the background and approaches used under the program, explore specific strategies for enhancing rural welfare and jobs creation, analyze specific enabling and constraining factors, and to apply these experiences to the specific context and needs of their individual country programs. This knowledge exchange is hosted by the Korean Development Institute School of Public Policy and Management. Through the CDD Global Solutions Group (GSG), the World Bank will facilitate follow-up dialogue and networking with the participating governments.
