Programme G

Community & Sustainable Development

Knowledge and partnership in service of communities.

Working with community organisations and partners to apply knowledge, skills and innovation to local development priorities in a sustainable, inclusive way.

The Foundation’s work in education, research and institutional capacity is ultimately measured by what it changes in communities. This programme connects that work with local priorities — supporting community organisations, applying research to community challenges and helping successful approaches to be shared and scaled.

Specific community calls will be developed together with community organisations and partners, and published here when they are ready.
