The Movement for Communityled Development

The Movement for Community-led Development is a non-profit organization based in Washington, United States. With a staff of three, the organization plays a vital role in advancing the principles of community-led development (CLD). CLD is a collaborative approach that empowers communities to define their own visions and work together to achieve them. The Movement for Community-led Development focuses on promoting and supporting CLD practices worldwide. They aim to facilitate a shift from short-term project-based interventions to more sustainable, systemic change that is rooted in local strengths and community ownership. A key aspect of their work is the emphasis on women as catalysts for positive change within their communities. The organization serves as a secretariat for The Hunger Project, which provides operational support and resources to advance the CLD movement.
