Diaconal locally led development is the process of transferring ownership and decision-making to local communities by adapting projects to each unique context, focusing on empowering local communities and marginalized groups to define their own development priorities and solutions so that transformation emerges from within.
This course will explore the opportunities and challenges of faith actors in facilitating locally led development. The course will assess how faith actors can use their unique ability to access and engage with local communities to ensure that interventions are contextually relevant, as well as their role as trusted intermediaries to facilitate inclusive platforms where local voices can be heard.
The course will also look into how challenges of faith actors due to hierarchal structure, power imbalances and instrumentalization can counteract locally led development.
