Key components include empowering local initiatives, fostering community engagement, and implementing a regranting scheme to support local needs. The initiative aligns with Agenda 2030 and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), focusing on inclusive, context-specific solutions for sustainable development. It aims to build resilient partnerships, leveraging local knowledge and promoting effective governance.
