CBI (Community-Based Initiatives)

Community-Based Initiatives (CBI) are programs developed and managed by local residents and organizations to address specific needs within their communities. These initiatives harness local knowledge and resources to create solutions for issues such as health, education, safety, or economic development. CBIs emphasize community participation and ownership, fostering sustainable change by empowering residents to actively shape their environment. They often collaborate with government agencies, nonprofits, and other stakeholders to ensure efforts are effective and aligned with local priorities. Overall, CBIs aim to improve quality of life by promoting grassroots, context-specific approaches to community development.
