The D4E community engagement process is rooted in the awareness that community members are valued partners and hold the expertise of lived experience. We look to the individuals who represent their community to establish benchmarks for accountability, ensuring fair, inclusive, and respectful participation.                                                                         

We believe all community members have the right to weigh in on every decision on processes, projects, or initiatives that may affect them. The aim is to create an environment where diverse voices and perspectives are valued and considered in an unbiased manner.

Utilizing a co-designing approach, equitable community engagement facilitation seeks to foster a collaborative and inclusive environment where community members feel valued, heard, and empowered in shaping the decisions that impact their lives.
