This department is offering the Communities Leading Development (CLD) grant to empower citizens of the Guatemalan Western Highlands. The project aims to identify and address development needs through a community-based approach, uplifting underrepresented groups including women, the poor, indigenous, and youth. By engaging community members as leaders in all stages of development activities, the project seeks to bridge societal divides that have marginalised indigenous Mayans in the region. Closing date for applications is Nov 23, 2015.
