39 Involvement of the Local Communities in development planning and budget prioritization is gaining recognition as one way of fostering rural development. Creation of target specific funds ( citizens empowerment fund , youth empowerment fund , land development fund ) is another strategy aimed at creating capital capacity for development in various enterprises which could result in reduced poverty and increased employment opportunities. Implementation of Decentralization Policy (towards empowering the people) which will result in direct funding to districts and sub-district structures will foster development in the rural areas.
