Hello,

Responding from question 1-: I will say that most initiatives of state and non state actors are usually rolled at in the urban areas to the neglect of the rural communities. The rural communities have lots of challenges and these challenges could either be socio-econmic or sociocultural. Hence to find sustainable solutions to these challenges, Community Based Organizations from such areas be consciously targeted for Capacity Building training for them to further understand the critical issues and better appreciate them and suggest home based solutions to resolving them. Such CBOs are usually led by the Youth and with the requisite training, coaching, exchange visits and financial support to role community level activities and projects, I believe it will go a long way to finding sustainable approaches to rural problems thereby guaranteeing community ownership.
