With little to no assistance from the government and a weak private sector, leaders and communities on La Gonave need help developing the island.
Traditionally, in these circumstances, charities and non-governmental organizations (NGOs) step in to provide aid. While helpful at times, far too often this aid leaves populations dependent on outside directives and leadership. This dynamic of dependency fails to foster local ownership over development efforts. Communities are unable to strengthen their own capacity and left ill-equipped to manage and maintain the efforts, jeopardizing the sustainability of such efforts.
Rasin Devlopman’s approach to development is different. Rasin practices a community-led approach to development.
