There's no shortage of organizations and communities that know there's an issue to be addressed. There's a problem in the community. What's difficult is trying to get the right people at the same table. It's hard to pool resources, effort, and knowledge in a way that allows us to determine the best approach, the best solution for the community. In our projects we find that if we support organizations that don't normally do this type of planning we often end up getting better projects with more partners and stronger commitments from everyone involved.
