The Networking Initiative funds three types of rural community projects aimed at building community capacity: learning events, partnerships and networks. The Initiative runs until March 2008.

The following are a few examples of activities that could qualify for funding:

Learning events: training and skills development for community stakeholders and needs/assets identification for rural and remote communities.

Partnerships: the development of action plans for community development and community capacity building, and carrying out socio-economic research on the issues faced by rural communities.

Networks: enhancing the capacity of communities and community organizations to develop responses to rural and remote community issues thereby contributing to community capacity building.
