This made the fiscal budget a political instrument, including lined times, such as the County Development Fund (CDF). The stipulation of the CDF for each county is US$200,000 in the fiscal budget, and the Social Development Fund (SDF) involves payments emanating from concession agreements. The CSDF Law is designed to avoid political influence, and encourage citizens participation in economic and fiscal decision-making. Nimba County District #8 Representative and sponsor of the bill, Larry P. Younquoi and Montserrado County District #2 Representative Jimmy Smith pledged their support to the bill. Augustus Zayzay of LAVI, informed the lawmakers that the CSDF Law will promote accountability, women participation, CSOs representation, and monitoring roles, guidelines as well as strengthen Legislative oversight.
