empowering urban poor communities with technical assistance for self-led housing development
DIY Toolkit for Community-Led Development intends to provide critical technical assistance and ecosystem support to urban, state-recognised low-income communities in cities across multiple states. This toolkit aims to equip these communities to actively participate in imagining, planning, and designing their habitats through a co-production process. By successfully demonstrating the self development approach, the project aims to uplift community agency.
