2025 marks 10 years of the Movement for Community-led Development (MCLD)! To celebrate, we organized five virtual celebrations to celebrate the courage, commitment and community of our Movement over the past 10 years. We shared learnings and paved the roadmap to the future across MCLD’s four themes: policy, practice, solidarity and self-reliance.
