This study assessed the effectiveness of the Enhanced Constituency Development Fund (CDF) in promoting local development and climate resilience in Kalomo District, Zambia. Using a mixed-methods approach, data were collected through questionnaires and interviews with community members, council officials, and Ward Development Committees (WDCs). The study found that while the Enhanced CDF has improved infrastructure and fostered project visibility, challenges such as low community awareness, weak financial accountability, and limited stakeholder engagement hinder its full potential. Recommendations include strengthening transparency mechanisms, empowering WDCs, and prioritizing climate resilient projects. The findings contribute to understanding decentralized financing and sustainable local governance in Zambia.
