About the Initiative
Community-Centered Partnerships
Community-centered Partnership (CCP) is the practice of working closely with affected community members about priorities that get elevated, funded and worked on at different levels. In practice, it means placing affected communities at the center of voice and decision-making.
In short:
A 4-year demonstration project (with intention to continue)
Investments going directly into rural, neighbor-island communities through staffing and direct financial support
Starting in Hawai`i and Maui Counties
Kaua`i County will be incorporated in Year 2
Each community will have:
a paid facilitator and
a paid community panel made up of families with keiki under five
Panel members will help decide:
1) How funding gets spent
2) What systems-level strategies are needed
