10. Participatory Processes
• Sustainability must come from within. CC
response cannot be solved from outside.
• True participation = inclusiveness and
engagement of voiceless.
• Participatory process may seem more
expensive at beginning but is high cost
effective in long term.

14. Networking
• Improves perspectives, increases resources
(technical & financial), links to advocacy
• Formal networks with agencies that have
mandates
• Informal networks within community and
externally
• Quality of networks
• Domestic vs Remote expertise
