Furthermore, local organizations are able to clearly understand the challenges that local people face and therefore work to address these through inclusive community development processes that ensure that community members are involved and their “strengths” appreciated not only in the context of the project but in the well-being of the entire community. This case study looks at the Nhaka Foundation in Zimbabwe, founded in 2007 and working to implement ground up early childhood development (ECD) activities that have sustainability and local ownership as key anchors to programming.</p>}, number={7}, journal={Scientific Journal of Pure and Applied Sciences}, author={Makokoro, Patrick}, year={2019}, month={Jul.}, pages={896-908} }
