Why CommunityLed?

We recognise the value of a connected community and the importance of fostering local relationships.

All the research and stories tell us that well-connected communities are better prepared to endure and recover faster from extreme events.

But engaging and working with ‘community’ can be hard.

We can help you to:

 

  • Design and implement preparedness and capacity-building projects
  • Engage the right people
  • Facilitate successful outcome-focused community gatherings
  • Harness conflict and disagreement as a tool for community growth
  • Understand the threats and opportunities in the adaptation space
