Strategy
Our Strategic Direction
Communities of the Nara live in a natural environment. Women have craft skills but lack access to markets. Men depend on oil exploration companies rather than diversifying their livelihoods. Youth are deprived of skill-building opportunities. This is due to limited public and private sector initiatives in SMEs, infrastructure, agricultural innovation, and education.
We realized these communities have great potential in terms of natural resources and skills. With proper networking and capacity building, they can be empowered towards sustainable development.
