Lasting change can only occur if it is owned and driven by the people affected by it. In its most basic form, democracy is fundamentally local. Effective action and accountability can be assured only when issues and actors are rooted locally.

We use the Community Capacity Enhancement (CCE) methodology which was first adopted by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) as a way of working with communities. The programme gives focus back to the power of conversations and allows community members to come up with solutions and community action projects to solve the problems.

The process is facilitated by trained facilitators with an objective of creating a safe space for dialogue to empower communities to talk about difficult issues, and ultimately to solve their own problems, each individual treated as an agent of change.

Our dialogue and social mobilisation events are intended to provide an opportunity for stakeholder or communities to create concrete plans to tackle the issues that affect them.
