Building infrastructure is not enough.
The key to sustainability is the synergy of components A, B and C and the systemic collaboration of different sectors.
Multisectoral Collaboration has been key to keeping our goals steady in difficult times.
Despite the challenges brought by COVID-19 in all countries, key measures have been implemented to mitigate its impact on the Program. In addition to extreme weather events and coordination difficulties in such complex times, the Program is on track to achieve its expected results by the end of 2022.
Beyond implementation partners
The Program also positively impacts local artists, educators and community leaders who become Leaders of Change in their communities, and through the development of flexible capital access solutions that foster the local economy.
