Sustainable development does not happen from the top down. It grows from the ground up, through the people who experience the effects of development every day. Development plans created outside a community may have good intentions and enough funding, but they can struggle to continue when the funding ends and the outside organisations leave. Community partnership can help change this. It makes development a shared responsibility and gives people a role in shaping solutions that affect their lives.
