Rebuilding Community Initiative

Capacity-Building Phase (1996-1998)

For three years, RCI participants engaged in a process of developing the community-building capacity of residents, MHCDO, and other neighborhood-based organizations. 

Activities during this period included:

  • Developing the capacity of residents and neighborhood-based organizations to engage in collaborative problem solving;
  • Establishing a governance structure representing a real partnership between government, the private sector and the nonprofit community;
  • Using technical assistance to train new leadership in community empowerment facilitation, conflict resolution, and the use of community organizing as both a tool and strategy to rebuild community; and
  • Strengthening the internal capacity of MHCDO and other neighborhood-based organizations.
