village empowerment

Village empowerment refers to the process of enabling local communities to actively participate in decisions and actions that affect their development. It involves providing resources, education, and skills so residents can address their own needs, improve their livelihoods, and advocate for their interests. Empowerment fosters independence, social cohesion, and sustainable progress by ensuring communities have a voice and the capacity to shape their future. This approach respects local knowledge and promotes ownership of development initiatives, leading to more effective and lasting improvements at the village level.
