Why grassroots

Development must reach the people it is designed to serve.

RIGD focuses on the last mile: listening to communities, identifying gaps, mobilising local participation and connecting support to measurable needs.

  • Community needs assessment before intervention.
  • Support designed around dignity and self-reliance.
  • Local participation, feedback and accountability.
