Start with community strengths
Communities contain knowledge, skills, relationships, local resources, lived experience, associations and leadership capacity. External support is valuable when it complements community participation.
Our Approach
From local knowledge to accountable action
CACED's development philosophy starts with community capacity, supported by evidence, consultation, responsible mobilisation and learning.
Theory of Change
The governing framework connects five parts of the development approach:
- United Associations
- Evidence and Consultation
- Responsible Resource Mobilisation
- Collaborative Implementation
- Monitoring and Learning
The intended direction
Stronger community capacity and sustainable development are the intended outcomes of this approach. Progress and public claims need evidence, review and learning.
