ADR brings together years of hands-on experience and expertise working with community groups, local and International NGOs in diverse environments. This experience has revealed that the traditional Project Approach often ends up being a straitjacket and is the main reason behind the failure of numerous community groups to effectively take charge of their development agenda and programs.
