The Community Based Approach to Local Development Project aims to improve the living conditions of local communities and strengthen participatory governance. For this purpose, it supports the implementation of local priorities reflected in terms of ‘community projects’ or ‘micro-projects’ through small grants based on equity, do-ability, sustainability and the cost sharing criteria. These priorities are developed by the COs and mainstreamed into local development plans through a joint decision-making process.
