Catalyzing community work projects

Description

Catalyzing community work projects involves initiating and coordinating collective local actions to address shared needs, mobilize resources, and foster active participation. This strategy empowers communities to identify priorities, develop practical solutions, and implement projects such as infrastructure improvements, environmental clean-ups, or social services. By facilitating collaboration and building local capacity, it remedies issues of disengagement, resource scarcity, and fragmented efforts, resulting in sustainable, community-driven development and enhanced social cohesion.

Implementation

The Barangay Operations for Livelihood Development (BOLD) of the Bureau of Non-Formal Education, The Philippines, selects a pilot barangay (rural village) and gives it financial assistance to launch a livelihood project.
