Local Assets Mapping

Local Assets Mapping is a process of identifying and documenting the resources, strengths, and capabilities within a community or organization. It includes people, organizations, facilities, and services that can be mobilized to address local needs. By understanding these assets, communities can build on existing strengths rather than focusing solely on problems. This approach encourages collaboration, enhances resource utilization, and promotes sustainable development by leveraging what is already available locally. Essentially, it’s about recognizing and connecting the valuable tools and relationships present in a community to achieve common goals efficiently.
