Each RC&D Council defines its own goals and objectives to meet local needs.
Diverse groups of local volunteers are brought together in a unique partnership to find solutions to their local
problems.
They:
Identify problems
Establish goals and objectives
Set priorities
Develop alternative plans
Implement selected plans |
|
The strength of the RC&D program is the commitment of the people to solve their own problems. RC&D
Councils recognize that local people are best able to determine needs and create solutions for their
community.
Local people provide the leadership and the direction for RC&D activities. Teamwork between the people
and public agencies assisting them is what makes an RC&D area a success.
RC&D generates grass roots supports for activities that build momentum from the planning process and carries over to the implementation phase.
