This APS seeks to empower local actors to lead and participate in the identification of development challenges, as well as propose and implement solutions within their local communities. "Local community" is considered as a group of individuals, households, organizations, political units (e.g., a village, municipality, sub-national government entity or any organization composed thereof), private sector firms, or other partner-country based institutions, defined by shared interest or priorities and inclusive of marginalized groups (e.g., women, youth, Indigenous groups, and key populations). Local here refers to both the level of organization of the community, and the position of that community as directly affected by the development challenge.
