Making communities in Benin more resilient

This project will be carried out in Benin more precisely in twelve (12) municipalities (Pilot municipalities ) namely:

- the Municipality of Ouidah
- the Municipality of Tori-Bossito
- the Municipality of Avrankou
- the Municipality of Dangbo
- the Municipality of Abomey-Calavi
- the Municipality of Allada
- the Municipality of Bohicon
- the Municipality of Abomey
- the Municipality of Cotonou
- the Municipality of Grand-Popo
- the Municipality of Adjohoun
- the Municipality of Bonou

Covid 19 has shown us that communities are the first responders in any crisis.
The only way to fight hunger and poverty and build resilience is to put communities at the center of development and humanitarian action.
The Participatory CLD assessment Tool enables communities to take charge of their own development. Designed over 2.5 years by over 100 people from all over the world, it is currently being used by governments, NGOs and civil society groups all over.
Seeing its impact in Kenya, where county governments are using it, we want to do the same in Benin across 12 municipalities to enable communities to address health, nutrition, food security and other challenges that plague them.

Communal councilors will understand during this project:
- What community-led development (CLD) is and what CLD is not;
- Training on the "Participatory CLD Assessment Tool"
- Use (practical in the field) of the mobile application of the ''Participatory CLD Assessment Tool''.
