Community-Based Policy Making
Community-Based Policy Making is a process where local residents, organizations, and stakeholders actively participate in shaping policies that affect their community. Instead of decisions coming solely from government officials, this approach encourages collaboration, gathering diverse perspectives to identify needs, develop solutions, and implement changes. It aims to create policies that are more relevant, effective, and accepted by those directly impacted, fostering a sense of ownership and empowerment among community members. This participatory method helps ensure policies reflect local priorities and promote sustainable, inclusive development.
