Community Declarations

The following declarations are key outputs from Community Dialogue Spaces hosted by the Equator Initiative and partners. The documents capture the essense of the deliberations and perspectives of participating communities with respect to fundamental questions of development and community engagement. These Community Declarations are consensus documents drafted by community representatives drawn from around the world and are a powerful grassroots counterpoint to the top-down policy documents and publications that typically define the development landscape."
