Supporting the implementation of a sustainable community development standard with two pilot communities in Côte d’Ivoire, ANSI – through its public-private partnership with the United States Agency for International Development, the Standards Alliance, and in partnership with the Ivorian Directorate General for Decentralization and Local Development (DGDDL) – organized a two-day training activity. The August event was the
fourth and final workshop in a year-long pilot program supporting the pilot
communities of Port Bouët and Yopougon in the development of five-year
sustainable community development strategies.
