What is ATLA’s purpose
To partner & support community self-determination
ATLA believes that communities are the best judges of how to improve their lives and livelihoods. This community-driven approach puts control of the development process, resources, and decision-making directly in the hands of the communities themselves.
Our purpose is to provide and support development capabilities, facilitate engagement, and foster community partnerships. Through these efforts, we aim to help communities organize themselves, take charge, and achieve their own aspirations.
