CDC Prioritises Projects

The prioritisation is based on the project's contribution to the economic growth, employment creation, economic diversification and equitable distribution of benefits as per the guidelines issued by the Ministry of Local Government to civic authorities.

CDC councillors have already approved the proposed plan to prioritise projects. The projects will be prioritised depending on their ability to increase GDP. They must have forward and backward linkages with other sectors of the economy. They must have potential to unlock other investments and make use of local inputs. The projects must be feasible and capable of increasing exports and reducing imports. However, council officials indicated that prioritising projects does not necessarily mean deferring some because a majority of them are already ongoing.
