Community Development

Goal: Sustainable communities built through improvement of socio-economic conditions and realization of community potential
AC started its community development program intervention yet in 1998, when the Organization understood the necessity of sustainable investments not only into the improvement of infrastructures, but also in mentality change of people. Inherited from the Soviet era, the mentality of people had to shift from the demanding character of consumer to initiator and participant of change in one’s own life and community. Almost 20 years have passed since the first steps in community mobilization. AC adapted its methodology of work and utilized tools according to the demand of the times and the growth of own capacities.
