The whole community, with its formal and traditional leaders, the different sectors and other individuals, group or organizations are encouraged to participate in the project. Demand-Driven. Support is given to enable the communities to prioritize their own needs and problems, design their own projects and make decisions on how resources will be used. Sustainable. The project ensures that sub-projects have viable plans for sustainability. With references to Kalahi-CIDSS, viability and sustainability reflect the capacity of sub-projects to continue to deliver intended benefits over a long period beyond the life of the project.
