EMPOWER Development is an active synergy of community
development projects initiated by residents from communities all across the earth. Project coordinators are members
of the local community who are acutely aware of neighborhood needs and are able
to identify appropriate, sustainable solutions.
EMPOWER Development collaborates with coordinators to build project capacity
and scale up the project’s impact to national and global levels.
Practically, EMPOWER networks small, emerging projects
together, that would otherwise remain isolated and under-resourced.
EMPOWER seeks to:
- Identify and disseminate best practice
- Work with projects to build strong management
systems
- Develop solid monitoring and evaluation
practices
- Ensure that individual projects are effective,
strategic and have the greatest impact possible
- Expand projects to affect whole communities and
nations
EMPOWER projects are carefully designed to ensure sustained,
escalating, beneficial impact across the entire community. Each project is strongly focussed on the
discovery, development and use of skills and creativity already resident within
community members.
