Different communities experience challenges differently. In each situation, there are different: actors; socio-economic, cultural, and environmental contexts; resources available; legal and socio-economic frameworks; and incentives or challenges. Therefore, development agents must be able to adapt the 2030 Agenda in a way that is relevant and flexible to context and democratizes the developmental process, by increasing their self-sustainability capacity.
This tool offers a catalogue of strategies that can help development agents working in any area: poverty, health, education, etc – make their initiatives more self-sustainable. All strategies are based on the experiences of development initiatives that have been explored in different parts of the world.
