Ensure sufficient support is available to community organisations to maintain their capacity, so they remain effective and capable of delivering outcomes for the local community and environment.
Why it is important?
Community organisations provide an essential link between government / external stakeholders and local communities and Traditional Owners. They can act as a go-between from higher level organisations to the people who can get things happening on the ground. Providing sufficient support, including training, funding and resources, will allow those community organisations to continue functioning effectively.
Examples of Local Action
- Develop and support ranger programs with local Indigenous people.
