The main focus of ICCD was to intervene and address the community’s felt needs through partnership and dialog. Depending on geographical location, the needs could vary more than what is listed in the ICCD thematic areas. It is also empirical that every community has a unique set of challenges that they hope to address with the available resources, effort and level of technology. ICCD, therefore, comes with a strategic approach to partner with the community and stakeholders to explore a holistic address to the community needs. Keen study and analysis of the local knowledge and resources usually provide researchers with empirical data for designing viable and acceptable community development projects. Every affected population knows their challenges better, but is usually limited by resource availability. Hence our partnership approach at ICCD.
