Description

The Africa Institute for Community-Driven Development (Khanya-aicdd) practices community-based management (CBM). CBM is about communities being involved and active in managing their own development. The intention of Khanya-aicdd's CBM practice is to encourage community members to participate in their own development, acquiring the skills and resources to assess their well-being and then to develop actions that change their environment to improve their livelihoods. This video takes a look at Community-Based Worker Systems being implemented in South Africa, Lesotho, Kenya, Uganda.

St. Francis Xavier University and Coady Institute stand on the lands of Mi’kma’ki, the ancestral and unceded home of the Mi’kmaw. We express our deep gratitude and appreciation to the generations of Mi’kmaw who, since time immemorial, have loved and stewarded these lands and the beings who call them home. Colonization is not just history; it exists in the present tense. While we strive to decolonize ourselves and our University, we know there is still much for us to learn.

We are committed to doing the hard work of self-reflection and to repairing relationships with the Mi’kmaw on whose lands we reside, including embracing the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada Calls to Action and embodying their spirit in our plans to move forward with our University.
