National Association Toolkit Section Two: Co-create Structure and Processes for a Strong Association – Under Construction

This section of the toolkit offers suggestions and examples of ways your group can co-create your own, custom-designed National Association of the Movement for Community-led Development.


Our Movement members co-create all of our content, based on wisdom, reflections, and experiences. Diverse civil society leaders, practitioners, and organizations are the lifeblood of the MCLD.

The co-creators include people who are: all genders and ages, rural and urban, of diverse abilities, speakers of many languages, and represent a wide array of ethnic groups and cultures. We come from diverse spiritual, economic, social, and educational backgrounds.

But we all have one thing in common: belief in the brilliance, dignity, and potential of everyday people and communities.
