What if sustainable development begins by changing the way we approach development itself?
Well-designed programs can still fall short when communities are not active participants, local strengths remain untapped, and success is measured by activities rather than lasting outcomes.
The Community Driven Sustainable Development (CDSD) International Training by Bala Vikasa – People Development Training Center (PDTC) is designed to help development professionals move towards approaches that foster community ownership, meaningful participation, measurable impact, and sustainable results.
This 2-Week Capacity Building cm Field Exposure Program combines practice-led learning with real-world exposure, covering:
Asset-Based Community Development (ABCD)
Appreciative Inquiry (AI)
Culture & Development
Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP)
Results-Based Management (RBM)
Strategic Planning (SP)
Participants will also experience development models through field exposure to Model Villages, Model Schools, and Community Water Purification Projects, connecting concepts with their real-life application.
