How We Work
AREA’s mandate is to work only through the direct involvement and participation of target communities. The establishment and strengthening of grassroots level institutions at the community, village or Gozar level is the basis for any intervention.
Empowering local communities to come together, take collective decisions and responsibility for overall development — and thus promoting local governance in the target areas — is the main objective of the organization.
AREA’s integrated community development methodology involves a staged process:
- Mobilization
- Establishment of Community Based Organizations (CBOs)
- Training and strengthening of the CBOs through training and awareness workshops, exposures and on-the-job trainings
- Implementing different programs and projects through the CBOs
