Abstract
Participatory development has been institutionalized in Pakistan with the view to achieve the
benefits as accrued elsewhere in the world. Local Government Ordinance 2001 provides a framework
for creation of Citizen Community Boards (CCBs) which may potentially promote development
through active participation of communities at all tiers of the Local Government. This paper aims to
highlight the functioni g and performance of CCBs in Pakistan with particular reference to
Muzaffargarh District. It analyzes the formation process of CCBs and examines their projects. It also
presents the association between participation of community in projects and its level of satisfaction.
This paper identifies the impediments that hamper the functioning of CCBs which in turn slow down
the development process. It is recommended that the potential of CCBs in the development process
can be materialized by removing the hindering factors.
