| Summary, etc. |
This paper describes the work of an environment fund set up to support community initiated and managed projects within low-income settlements in urban areas throughout Thailand. Drawing on a grant of US $1.3 million, over a two-year period, the fund has supported 196 projects benefiting 41,000 families. Although managed by a Thai government agency (the Urban Community Development Office) and with funds from the Danish government agency, DANCED, the fund has allowed low-income communities to develop their own projects and manage their implementation. It also encouraged inter-community exchanges and, more generally, a strengthening of the capacity of low-income communities to work together and negotiate and work with external agencies. - Reproduced |
