Our Theory of Change

When communities are empowered to value and preserve their cultural heritage, access knowledge and skills, participate in decision-making, develop sustainable livelihoods and protect their environment, they become more resilient, inclusive and capable of driving their own sustainable development.

Cultural Heritage + Knowledge + Skills + Inclusion + Partnerships = Empowered Communities

Empowered Communities = Resilient, Peaceful and Sustainable Society
