The objective of these case studies are to enhance limited
resource community's ability to develop and conduct effective rural development
projects. The process is to: identify successful project designs and project
management techniques that worked with low-income, limited resource communities
and drawing on the experience of community based organizations; develop a
database to facilitate dissemination, use, and updating of this information;
and, disseminate this information to limited resource communities, non-profit
organizations that work with them, and to government field staff to support
effective community outreach action.
A grant was provided through a cooperative partnership between Rural Business-Cooperative Service (RBS), the
Forest Service, the National Agriculture Library (Rural Information Center
(RIC), and the National Association of Development Organizations Research
Foundation (NADO). NADO is working in cooperation with the National Association
of Community Action Agencies (NACAA).
