This programme continues the Foundation’s ongoing process of working with communities, wherein lies the potential to create leadership, ownership and stewardship. These are necessary qualities for enhancing community-led initiatives in general and in fact, stronger communities are a prerequisite for sustainable development. They become even more significant when the intention is to maximize potential for livelihoods while ensuring sustainable use of environmental assets.
