Project Background

Many communities continue to experience challenges that affect wellbeing, livelihoods, access to information, participation and resilience. These challenges can be strengthened by limited access to appropriate information, community engagement opportunities and connections with relevant stakeholders.

Brace Africa International proposes a community outreach program designed to engage communities across three districts through awareness, dialogue, empowerment and resilience-building activities.

The project will work with community members and relevant stakeholders to identify priorities, share information, strengthen participation and encourage practical community-led responses.
