Community Capacity Enhancement

Reliance Foundation believes that development is truly sustainable only when communities are fully in-charge of their development. Towards this goal, Reliance Foundation works with rural communities to enhance their capacities for planning and taking up developmental activities.

Planning capacity is built when village-level development plans are prepared in a participatory manner with village-level institutions and all people in a community, especially women. In a similar manner, dedicated water use planning further cements efforts to sustain water-related gains and improves water governance.

Throughout the year, capacity enhancement initiatives largely aimed at strengthening livelihoods are taken up with collectives and individuals. These tailored efforts complement village development plans and usher holistic development in rural communities.
