Empowering local residents

Description

Empowering local residents involves equipping community members with the skills, resources, and authority needed to actively participate in decision-making and problem-solving processes affecting their lives. This strategy addresses issues of marginalization and ineffective top-down interventions by fostering local leadership, encouraging collaboration, and supporting grassroots initiatives. The practical intent is to enable sustainable development, improve social cohesion, and ensure that solutions are tailored to the unique needs and priorities of the community.
