Participatory Action and Community Empowerment

More Listening, More Understanding, More Voicing, More Action!

Participatory Action and Community Empowerment (PACE) is a unit under the Resilience Development Initiative (RDI) that focuses on strengthening community voices through participatory research. We believe that effective policies are derived from an inclusive process, from listening, understanding, to amplifying the aspirations of those who are often marginalised, particularly vulnerable groups.

Areas of Work

Amplifying Community Voices for Inclusive and Sustainable Development

Effective and sustainable policies can only be achieved by incorporating the voices and needs of communities, especially vulnerable groups such as women, children, persons with disabilities, youth, and those affected by disasters or climate change.
