Local Partnership Model

This strategy emphasizes collaboration with in-country partners to design and deliver programs that strengthen governance, environmental management, and access to justice. It prioritizes local ownership and capacity-building, distinguishing it from top-down or externally driven approaches. By embedding initiatives within existing community and institutional structures, it enhances relevance, scalability, and resilience, particularly in complex or underserved contexts like Laos.
