COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT

​

LEAP is engaged with numerous indigenous and local community-based organizations in Sabah in an effort to transform communities by building capacity and creating mutually empowering processes to secure their livelihoods by developing alternative economies and by promoting the role of communities in sustainable use and protection of natural resources.

 

A multilevel collaborative process led by LEAP and its partners have over the last 10 years helped indigenous and local communities in Sabah to create opportunities for themselves to continue to thrive in the face of globalization, climate change, mass exploitation of natural resources, extinction of wildlife and increasing social inequalities.
