This research is a comparative analysis of processes and changes between community-driven development project and multi-sector project in rural China. Two cases from Baishui county are compared in a variety of processes, i.e. project inputs, activities and outputs. By using data from government documents, CDD program monitoring and evaluation reports, household survey, and interviews with county program officials, NGO staff and community members, I identified the major changes of the CDD program brought to local institutions and community members' participation. Moreover, the major similarities and differences of the two approaches in community management are identified in this research. As an input, institution building formulates community members' participation in the process of project. Community members' participation contributes much trust and commitments to community self-management.
