The OneVillage Partners Method
We enter 2025 with amazing news!
We’re thrilled to share that our approach to community-led development has been featured in the newly released book, Community-Led Development in Practice: We Power Our Own Change. This collaborative work, published by Routledge, brings together thought leaders and practitioners to explore how communities can take the lead in driving sustainable development.
Our contribution, Chapter 3: OneVillage Partners’ Method, highlights the transformative power of our model and its emphasis on empowering communities to identify their needs, design solutions, and lead the way to sustainable impact.
Why Community-Led Development Matters
At its core, community-led development (CLD) shifts the traditional experience of aid and development. Rather than imposing our solutions, CLD recognizes that communities are the experts of their own lives. This approach doesn’t just create projects, it fosters ownership, dignity, and resilience.
We’re honored to contribute to this collective effort through our work and now through this book. Together, we’re proving that when communities lead, change is not only possible—it’s inevitable.
Community-Led Development in Practice: We Power Our Own Change is a must-read for anyone passionate about equitable development. Dive into Chapter 3 to learn more about the OneVillage Partners Method, and explore how organizations across the globe are putting communities at the center of change.
