Our Approach

Our strategic approach to community development, which takes into consideration the quadrants of collective planning and execution, proves to be an essential tool for building community resilience.

Planning

Needs Mapping

By critically examining last-mile challenges across democracy and civic engagement, agriculture and entrepreneurship, education, health, and sustainable livelihoods, CSAID develops a deep understanding of local needs, capacities, and opportunities for intervention.

Co-Designing Solutions

Based on identified local needs and capacities, CSAID works with last mile populations to design contextualized solutions with unique theory of change to address specific needs.

Execution

Strategic Partnership

With strong community context, CSAID leverages partnership as a key to unlocking external resources to harness local development.

Enforcing Local Ownership

Leveraging local and external resources/ partnerships, CSAID enforces local ownership by equipping communities with the right skills, knowledge and opportunities to address their own needs.
