Executive Consultant, Strategic Management | Executive Director of FONTAINE-HAITI | Expert in Sustainable Community Development & Disaster Recovery. Proficient in English, French and Haitian Creole.
In my previous post, I talked about “Why Community Participation is Crucial for Successful Projects.” In this post, I want to discuss “Enhanced Relevance and Effectiveness in Sustainable Community Projects.” From my experience working with community leaders, I have found that involving community members in planning a new clean water supply system has proven to be a game-changer. By ensuring that the services offered align perfectly with the community’s needs, we have seen a significant increase in usage and maintenance. This approach not only guarantees that the system is well-kept but also generates revenues that are reinvested into other community projects. Importantly, this model reduces dependency on external funding, fostering a sense of ownership and sustainability within the community. Please share your experiences and comments below.

Our Chief Director for Puerto Rico, Charlotte Gossett Navarro, discussed how local nonprofits have come to function as “community resiliency hubs” in response to extreme natural disasters brought on by climate change like Hurricanes Maria and Fiona, in a recent article in The Chronicle of Philanthropy, These local nonprofits serve as “one-stop-shops” for essential resources that are often made scarce by these weather events such as medication, clean water, and power. This transformation has been made possible in PR, in part by the numerous solar energy with battery systems installed since Hurricane Maria – including through initiatives like Solar Saves Lives, a previous collaboration between Hispanic Federation and partner organizations, to maximize the resilient rooftop solar energy potential of federally qualified health clinics across Puerto Rico, and dozens of other community solar initiatives funded by Hispanic Federation since 2017. “We can’t deploy solar energy quickly enough to make sure that every single person has consistent energy, [but] if you have a place within a reasonable distance that you can access power, that’s a way for us to address these needs in this transitional period.” Click below to read more: https://lnkd.in/gXn8AwEz

What does your byline mean to you?
Connecting communities & environment. Engagement, strategy, policy. Director at Element Environmental.
Do you have a snappy little byline beside your name on LinkedIn? What does it mean in reality? For me, ‘connecting communities and environment’ has meant: Supporting Greater Wellington and Otago regional councils to give farmers and rural professionals clear guidance on where to next with farm planning. Looking for opportunities to make it easy for Auckland rural communities to achieve environmental outcomes alongside community resilience. Enabling those working with catchment groups to help them get clarity on where to start. Shining a light on cross-sector insights for community engagement approaches with NZ Forest Owners Association. Thank you to our wonderful Element Environmental clients for giving us the opportunity to find so many meaningful ways to connect community and environment and to our very own Amelia Wood and Harriet Kemp! Thank you especially to Libby Caldwell, Dave Boone, Leanna Birch, Maddison Jones Hannah Blake, and the New Zealand Foresty Owners Association.

Excellent ideas and energy at the Land Trust Alliance Rally 2023 underway now in Portland, OR. The focus, grit, and creativity of the staff and volunteer leaders of land conservation nonprofits nationwide is inspiring. Land trusts, public/private cooperation, cross-border strategies, landscape-level planning, and climate adaption are some of the powerful approaches that are reshaping conservation in the U.S. today. Increased public funding is making new progress possible; now, private philanthropy needs to keep pace.
