At Diyalo, we pursue a community-led, sustainable development approach to addressing local needs over the long-term.
We engage our communities through a partnership model based on one-third participation from community members, one-third engagement from the local government, and one-third support from the Diyalo Foundation. We start every project with a bottom up approach—engaging communities in a robust dialogue aimed at in identifying priority needs; assessing risks, challenges, and opportunities; and working with grassroots leaders to pursue citizen-led solutions. We then consult with local government to gain their support.
Finally, we develop support for project goals through a diverse network of local and global partners capable of providing funding, advice, and volunteer support. Ultimately, our goal is that community members assume leadership of a given project and ensure its proper functioning over time
